The Spanish Republican Coalition was a coalition of socialists and anarchists. The Democratic party is nothing of the sort. It is and always has been a capitalist party. I don't believe the Republican party is a fascist party. It insults the victims of fascism to suggest so.

I don't see any political violence at all. I will give you #1 but that doesn't mean civil war. The gap isn't so much between Rs and Ds as it is between urban and suburban/rural. It is just that Ds dominate in urban areas and Rs in suburban/rural areas. I don't think the "system" is making it worse for more and more people. We are losing our position as the dominant economy in the world and our standard of living is going down with it. No system will change that.
