So is the US slipping into Civil War?

People keep talking about "Federalizing the National Guard" and now you've got other States pledging their NG to Texas in defiance of the Supreme Court (see image).

So is this what CW2 looks like?

P.S. I'm a Brit

IDK but I got shut down when I asked a few weeks ago.

I'm sorry that happened to you, and you're right, all signs are pointing to a second civil war in the U.S.

what does that even mean?

The states are beginning to openly disrespect the authority of the federal government. Texas Gov. Abbott directly said he believes Texas State law supercedes federal law. There is no basis for that position in law; the law dictates exactly the opposite. If Texas refuses to respect the authority of the United States of America and the rulings of the Supreme Court, the only way to resolve that is civil war.

okay bud but what does "civil war" mean, here, now?

When people say "civil war" they mean a lot of things

i'm not sure what it means, but we do have a lot of national military stationed here. so that's a factor.
