Is there war brewing in the United States? Once again the north vs the south? Christians vs secularists? States rights vs federal rights?
Or are we just witnessing the last breath of democracy, and the death of the American experiment?

We're already in a Cold Civil War. (Although it isn't a straight forward North vs, South, more of an X-shape.) I know people who have changed vacation plans, told their children not to apply to colleges, and more importantly, have pulled business from those states that are banning abortion. These schisms will grow worse. Not enough has been made publicly of the equally egregious EPA rulings, and there's the Clean Water Act case coming ... but we'll soon see some states becoming super polluters while others are being ravaged by floods and fires.
Although I don't think a hot war is around the corner, there are near-term events that could trigger physical violence, including a close Presidential election.
As Faulkner said, "The past isn't dead. It isn't even past."
