Trump's most adamant white supporters are cultural warriors engaged in a culture war with their opposing cultural warriors. But could the culture war turn into a civil war?
We Americans have already had one Civil War in the nineteenth century. We could have another civil war in the twenty-first century.
The British filmmaker Alex Garland has written and directed the new R-rated (for war violence and mass death) film Civil War, which I have not seen. It is a kind of warning to us Americans about the terrible possibility of another American civil war in the twenty-first century. Manohla Dargis, the chief film critic for the New York Times, describes it as "A blunt, gut-twisting work of speculative fiction" in her article "'Civil War' Review: We Have Met the Enemy and It Is Us. Again: In Alex Garland's tough new movie, a group of journalists led by Kirsten Dunst, as a photographer, travels a United States at war with itself" (dated April 11, 2024).
The prospect of a second American civil war in the twenty-first century terrifies me. So I hope that our current cultural war does not evolve into a second civil war.
