Republicans and independents in the South were most favorable to secession, at 66% and 50% respectively. Of Democrats polled, 47% in the Pacific Northwest said they want to break off. Sizable portions of independents in the Heartland and Mountain states also wanted to form their own country.<\/p>\n<p>BrightLaneWatch, which conducted a similar survey right after the Capitol riot on January 6, anticipated political tempers would have \u201ccooled\u201d with the removal of former President Donald Trump. \u201cYet rather than support for secession diminishing over the past six months, as we expected, it rose in every region and among nearly every partisan group,\u201d they wrote.<\/p>\n<p>The poll comes as President Joe Biden and others increasingly invoke the Civil War to describe GOP voting laws and the Capitol riot. During a Wednesday appearance on \u201cTucker Carlson Tonight,\u201d author Mark Steyn discerned the Left is using such heated rhetoric to demonize their political opponents in an attempt position themselves more likely to win a \u201ccold civil war.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s almost like they want a civil war,\u201d Steyn observed. \u201cAll this is rubbish. \u2018The worst act of political violence since the Civil War,\u2019 says Anderson Cooper, and immediately Lincoln, Garfield, McKinley, and Kennedy say, \u2018What am I? Chopped liver?&#8217;\u201d&nbsp;The four presidents were assassinated.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou would not normally compare an insurrection or citizenship laws with a civil war. The reason they\u2019re doing this is they want a new civil war, but they don\u2019t want to have to fight it. They\u2019d rather just have a media campaign civil war that results in half the country turned into Confederate statues, torn down, and tossed in the garbage can of history,\u201d Steyn continued.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is preposterous, and the most preposterous thing is that on January the sixth, half the respectable Right went along with the idiotic Democrat media narrative and helped them weaponize it,\u201d Steyn added.<\/p>\n<p>Regarding why the president of the United States would liken anything to the Civil War, which Carlson described as \u201cdangerous,\u201d Steyn said, \u201cAs I said, I think they\u2019re actually doing this to create the conditions where they can win a kind of cold civil war. They\u2019ve reached the state of the last Civil War, they think it\u2019s time for one side to win and one side to lose.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>WATCH:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"7.1027027027027\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Tucker Carlson and Mark Steyn discuss how the left have started comparing everything to the civil war. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/qCDjStTIoH\">pic.twitter.com\/qCDjStTIoH<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 The Post Millennial (@TPostMillennial) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TPostMillennial\/status\/1415477459244437511?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 15, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Related<\/strong>: <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/biden-rages-confederates-during-civil-war-never-breached-the-capitol-like-insurrections-voter-integrity-laws-are-21st-century-jim-crow\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Biden Rages: \u2018Confederates\u2019 During Civil War \u2018Never Breached The Capitol\u2019 Like \u2018Insurrectionists,\u2019 Voter Integrity Laws Are \u201821st Century Jim Crow<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
