[FRIAM] civil war(s)

[Prof David West]

This is not a polemic nor a rant, just an observation.

Lot's of headlines about rupture and conflict in Republican party: Trumpists versus everone else. But almost a many stories, not headlined, about similar in Democratic party, e.g. 'entire staff of Nevada's Democratic party resigned because Sanders/AOC aligned slate won elective positions like Chairperson."

These might be more grounded instances of "civil war" (metaphor) than the one supposedly exemplified by the storming of the Capitol.
