I don't doubt that leftist groups have in the past and may even now be calling for it, but in my experience, right now, the only people I see talking about a civil war are Republicans/conservatives.
Here's Alex Jones talking about how there should be a civil war aginst liberals. While he is a crazy person, he is a crazy person the POTUS actually listens to which makes him somewhat relevant. |
My experience on Facebook is VERY different than yours. I'm a musician, and I've played in pro bands since 1978 and played with hundreds of musicians and worked with dozens of agents, etc.
So I have a nice amount of people I'm friends with. And the vast majority of them are Democrat Party people. They vote party line.
And EVERY day on my newsfeed it is full of anti-Trump posts and memes and cartoons.
And most every one of them are factually incorrect based on biased media headlines that the person didn't bother to read the full story.
As for "Liberals" today calling for "civil war". Hell yes they do.
All it took was quick google search to start finding it:

Here's Rob Reiner proclaiming that the original civil war is still happening (guess he forgot that it was the Democrat Party that was pro-slavery at that time):

Bottom line is...there will always be pundits out there making outrageous statements.
And whether you're Alex Jones or Rachel Maddow or Sean Hannity or Chris Matthews...all they really care about is getting attention and ratings.
But make no mistake about it...Liberals DO try to stir up shit. All you had to do was watch CNN's coverage of any racial protest or riot and watch them try to keep that story going and glorify people rioting and destroying property.
