Is the USA heading for a civil war?

[Karl Rand]

@Karl Rand That's probably true, although I had the impression that Australia was a bit more on the conservative side, at least on some issues anyway.

Certainly not more conservative than large parts of the US although there’s a hard core who consider themselves the champions of free enterprise even though they’re increasingly sucking on the tax payer’s tit.
What Australia is though is worryingly complacent. A majority of the population doesn’t know how lucky they are. Then we have the remnants of the union movement which is often no more than a form of gangsterism. Add a government happily robbing tax revenue to make their mates (buddies in the US) rich and hypocrisy is the name of both games. 
In the end the endless divide between those who think of themselves as of the left and those who think of themselves as of the right is no more than delusional on both sides.
