According to a poll, almost half of Americans – 40% of Americans – fully expect civil war in the next decade.

The survey reflects rising fears amid protests, deportation riots, and political violence.

Forty per cent of Americans believe a civil war in the US is somewhat or very likely within the next decade, a new YouGov poll released on Tuesday suggests.

The poll, which surveyed 3,375 adults, underscores widespread anxiety over the nation’s deepening divisions. It also follows a wave of unrest in the country, including violent protests against federal deportations and nationwide demonstrations aimed at President Donald Trump.

Women were more likely than men to consider civil conflict plausible, with 45% indicating it was likely.

Views also varied by political affiliation: 48% of Democrats, 39% of independents, and 32% of Republicans said a civil war was at least somewhat probable.

While respondents were more or less split on the likelihood of a civil war, just over 20% were unsure or declined to answer.

The data also suggested racial disparities. Among white respondents, 10% said a civil war was very likely, compared to 18% of black respondents.

Hispanics were the least likely to completely dismiss the idea, with only 11% saying a conflict was not likely at all, while 15% called it very likely.

Earlier this month, riots erupted across California in response to federal immigration enforcement actions. Trump deployed the National Guard and US Marines after a public clash with California Governor Gavin Newsom over his handling of the crisis.

Last week, Minnesota State Representative Melissa Hortman and her husband were fatally shot, and State Senator John Hoffman and his wife were injured in what officials called ’politically motivated’ attacks.

On Saturday, an estimated 5 million Americans participated in No Kings marches across all 50 states.

Organizers described the protests as a stand against authoritarianism, billionaire-first politics, and the militarization of our democracy.

Meanwhile, some Republican allies have warned that Trump is losing support for deviating from his ’America First’ platform, particularly after backing Israeli strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities.

Trump dismissed the criticism in an interview with The Atlantic, pompously declaring that he alone defines what ’America First’ means.

ADOLF HITLER THE PROPHET OF AMERICA’S DOOM: ‘The USA has become a state as a result of liberal ideas and various other factors, through financial monopolies too. 

But they will never be a nation: they will always be the scene of internal disturbances, ideological, religious, and ethnic, and religious rivalries.  The USA will be overtaken by events.’ ~ Adolf Hitler Interview. Chicago Tribune, February 15 1931. TELL US WHAT YOU THINK

LIFE IN THE REICH Mike Walsh: The standard of living in Hitler’s Third Reich was far superior to that elsewhere in the developed world. German workers enjoyed a lifestyle comparable to that of movie stars. Germany led the world in fashion, medicine, cinema, lifestyle, manufacturing, transport infrastructure, public facilities, cutting-edge science, healthcare and education. Amazon removed Life in the Reich because it dared to show Hitler’s Germany as it was and not as the propagandists would have us believe it was. https://barnesreview.org/product/life-in-the-reich-hitlers-germany-1933-1945/
