OK, this might look silly, joking about Civil Wars, when the president is preposterously fomenting war among the Peoples of the United States. It sounds unbelievable that the good folks in America will engage in a new Civil War, anywhere similar to the Civil War of 1860. After all, even the best armed Militia is no match for the U.S. Military, unless the U.S. Military changes sides, in which case we are all doomed. Perhaps, Civil War 2 will be more of a guerrilla war or a cyber war. Perhaps, this is just trump boasting and trumping and except for a small group of armed men, very few people in modern society have the stomach to go to a bloody war, when they have mortgages to pay, barbecues to organize and kids to take care of.
So, folks on the Internet are having some fun with the hashtag #CivilWarSignup. Some of the tweets are quite clever and funny, some perhaps predictable, but all in good fun. They show the absurdity of the thought of a civil war in modern America. Nothing wrong in breaking the tension with a bit of humor, which we keep resisting and fighting the dark forces, armed with the law, the constitution and humor, not guns.

OK, let’s get back to work.
