On social media platforms, overseas netizens also expressed their disappointment and pessimism about the current chaotic situation in the United States, and some of their statements were obviously partisan:
It’s about to be staged, “(American) Civil War 2”.
There has been a lot of political violence in the last 150 years.
But I do think that this kind of violence is becoming more common, and it was limited to small groups before.
All this is nothing more than an attempt to further divide the United States. It’s so sad…it’s so sad.
The FBI raid on Trump’s home could well start the next civil war.
The current situation is exactly what the Democrats want.
You mean just because the FBI convinces the judge that I may have committed a crime, they can legally search my home and rummage through my drawers?
What kind of country is this?
I suggest you all google “American Civil War” and see what you can find. (Ma Jiaxin and Wang Luping)
