Civil war over what? Lmao it's so funny, a civil war over two geriatrics who believe in the same things?
While obviously both political parties in US represent the interests of the oligarchs, the rhetoric they use is intentionally polarizing. The mainstream is split across political lines, with democrats and republicans blaming the other side for all the ills in the country.
Most people in US lack the political or economic education to understand what's happening leading to public lashing out in random and irrational ways. People understand that they're being hurt, but they don't understand who is responsible or why it's happening. This creates a political climate that's ripe for opportunists like Trump and Biden to game leading to further deterioration of living conditions. The country ends up in a worse state after each successive election cycle, and the sectarian tensions continue to become more prominent. Violent outbreaks are starting to happen already, and I expect these will only get worse going forward.
