Is America on the Brink of Civil War?

from Dr. Carole's Couch · host Dr. Carole Lieberman

America on the brink of Civil War? How could this be? It's almost too surreal and scary to think about! Isn't the Civil War something that happened in the history books? Why hasn't America learned from the bloodshed that went on back then? Then it was the North vs. the South, but today it's the Left vs. the Right... and the Left are the ones who are provoking it. How? Why? What can we do to stop it? These are the urgent questions that today's guest, Robert Spencer, will answer. He's warned us about it in his most recent book entitled, The Sumter Gambit: How the Left is Trying to Foment a Civil War. And whether you're on the Left or the Right, you will want to know what's coming - because just like the original Civil War tore America to pieces, literally, another one, at this time in history, would be even worse. What is the Sumter Gambit? It's the concerted effort by the Left to push the most extreme policies and ideologies into American public life, while simultaneously labeling any opposition to their overreach as treason. While this strategy has been developed for decades, only since the Trump years has it become their central organizing principle and, indeed, the only governing strategy of the Democratic party. Critical Race Theory in schools, extreme gun control and abortion laws, Covid lockdowns and mandates–and all that is just the beginning. The purpose of it all is to push non-Leftist Americans into an impossible corner–where they are forced to choose between giving up their liberty and their most dearly-held principles; going to jail; or fighting back. When the last becomes the only choice, the Left plans to unleash the entire might of the Military-Industrial Complex to defeat and destroy any vestiges of dissent. They'll have to do it, they'll say, to protect us from an "insurrection." There is no doubt that America is suffering from grave crises today. Here the noted political analyst, Islam expert, and historian Robert Spencer shows just how severe those crises are–and points the way back from the brink of civil war to political, societal, and cultural sanity.
