Is the US Headed for Civil War or Just a Political Shift?

Is the US headed for civil war? Is the Neo-Confederate Movement a serious threat, or just people mostly concerned about the tearing down of historic monuments? Might the US abandon democracy in the 2024 election or in early 2025? Or is the US essentially stable and simply going through a realignment of the political parties not unlike the six or seven previous political party realignments in American history?  Jim Buie will help us examine our uncertain future.

Jim Buie, a native North Carolinian, is a long-term observer of American politics, and a participant-activist since age 16. He is a graduate of the UNC Journalism School, a former newspaperman in Fayetteville, Durham, and Raleigh, with a master’s degree in journalism and public policy from American University in Washington, DC. He is currently an adjunct instructor in Communications for Augusta University in Georgia, and the publisher of a Substack on the themes of Slender Threads / Global Citizens / Public History, which includes mini-courses on the themes of this presentation. He lives in Fearrington Village.  He spoke to us in 2021 about culture shocks in his travels.

This meeting is a Zoom “hybrid” meeting.  We will meet at our regular venue, Extraordinary Ventures, where the program will take place.  We will also Zoom the program.    If you wish to attend via Zoom, please use our contact form to make your request.
