About

Second Civil War is a conspiracy theory espoused by infamous conspiracy theorist and media personality Alex Jones. Jones's belief that American democrats will declare war on their fellow American citizens on July 4th, 2018 has led to series of tweets, parodying the type of correspondence used during the American Civil War in the 1800s, using the hashtag #secondcivlwarletters.

Origin

On July 1st, 2018, Alex Jones tweeted [1] a video clip from The Alex Jones Show explaining that a second civil war would be started by democrats on July 4th. He tweeted, "BREAKING: Democrats Plan To Launch Civil War On July 4th." The post (shown below) received more than 2,000 retweets, 3,000 likes and 20,000 comments in two days.


Spread

Shortly after the tweet posted, many online mocked Jones for the theory. Twitter[2] user @LiberalVenom sarcastically tweeted, "Attention Democrats Our meeting location has been compromised Initiate plan AlexJonesIsaNutjob NOW." The tweet (shown below, left) received more than 1,200 retweets and 14,000 likes in three days.

Throughout the day, people continued to make similar jokes, focusing on the idea that they did not hear about the war and hoping that it will be more akin to a cook out (examples below, center and right).

Tea Pain just learned from Alex Jones that Democrats are supposed to be startin' a Civil War this Wednesday. Two important questions.. 1) Will their be Bar-B-Que? 2) Who's bringin' the Milla Light?

Dammit. I didn't get the Civil War memo. Must've been too busy living in reality to see this. If you watch Alex Jones, does your IQ diminish all at once, or does it gradually disappear? Is 2nd hand stupid a thing? So many questions. Alex Jones Φ @RealAlexJones BREAKING: Democrats Plan To Launch Civil War On July 4th pscp.tv/w/bglcfTExOTI5...

On July 2nd, Twitter[3] user @amandablount2 tweeted, "My Dear John, The war isn't going as planned. Our supply trucks are limited. I'm out of wine and sunscreen. The enemy burned all the books and there is no place to recharge my Kindle. The only music is an old CD of Justin Bieber. – All is lost. #secondcivilwarletters." Within 24 hours, the tweet (shown below) received more than 930 retweets and 4,400 likes.

The tweet inspired others to tweet mock letters to loved ones during the imagined war, parodying the types of correspondences sent during the American Civil War and found in documentaries about the war. These tweets were catalogued under the #secondcivilwarletters hashtag. Several media outlets covered the reaction to Jones's tweet and the hashtag, including Detroit Free Press,[4] The Daily Beast[5] and more.

Various Examples

Dearest: We suspended our Pokémon Go siege & sought shelter inside Cinepolis. We've been forced to endure Jurassic World for what seems like days. Not even Chris Pratt can cheer us and they're out of sushi. I fear I may never be happy again. War is hell. #secondcivilwarletters
My dear husband, l've been captured by Gens Collins &Murkowski, who keep saying they're on my side, but I have a feeling they'll turn on me in the end The covfefe here is terrible. Yours everlastingly, Jane #secondCivilwarletters
Dear Wife, Today we stormed the Extreme Pollution Agency. Alas, the villainous General Pruitt was nowhere to be found. But we seized his secret phone booth. After it is displayed for the patriots to view, it will be sold for war reparations. Your Johnnie #SecondCivilWarLetters

Dear sister, Spirits were low in the medic tent as supplies of probiotics and arnica dwindle. But the arrival of Drag Battalion AF with glitter cannons has given us hope for tomorrow. We ride at dawn. #secondcivilwarletters
My Dearest Children, We have managed to capture and occupy the Chick-fil-a and Hobby Lobby. Our intention is to make the enemy eat gay sandwiches and do gay crafts. With much love, Your libtard mother #SecondCivilWarLetters
My Immortal Beloved: I am trapped behind enemy lines and I fear many of the horrific atrocities we presumed to be merely urban legends are indeed true. They eat Miracle Whip and Ted Nugent has fans. Pray for us. Jeb #secondcivilwarletters
