Hollywood liberal Alec Baldwin is back in the headlines — not for a movie or a courtroom appearance this time, but for claiming America is on the verge of civil war.

In an interview prompted by watching Ken Burns’ documentary The Civil War, Baldwin said the current political climate reminded him of pre-war America, where no one would compromise. “We are in a pre-Civil War culture now,” he warned, lamenting the state of political division. His comments, unsurprisingly, are already being lapped up by liberal media outlets and blue-check social media pundits.

But let’s get real for a moment.

This isn’t 1860. There’s no national secession crisis. No shots have been fired at Fort Sumter. What we do have is a country that just reelected Donald Trump in a landslide, a government cleaning house after years of Biden-era chaos, and a population that — according to recent polling — is actually more optimistic about the direction of the country than at any point in the last two decades.

So what’s Baldwin really upset about?

Simple: Trump’s success. Again.

This is a man who made a second-rate career move impersonating Trump on Saturday Night Live, convinced it would “save democracy” and take down the former president. When that didn’t work, Baldwin retreated into his celebrity echo chamber — one that still can’t accept that millions of Americans prefer Trump’s common sense policies over leftist theatrics.

And now, with Trump back in the White House, overseeing historic deportations, dismantling DEI bureaucracies, and bringing back manufacturing through tough trade enforcement, guys like Baldwin are losing it. They don’t see the optimism. They see an America slipping out of their cultural control — and they can’t take it.

Ironically, Baldwin’s own meltdown is a perfect case study of what’s not happening in America.

There is no “pre-Civil War” uprising on the right. Conservatives aren’t burning down cities or firebombing Tesla dealerships. It’s the far-left — enraged over losing power — that’s rioting in the streets, calling for violence, and even targeting law-abiding citizens for driving the wrong car.

In fact, if Baldwin wants to see 19th-century behavior, he should take a long look at the 21st-century Democrats — because the parallels are striking.

In 1860, it was Democrats who lost their minds when a Republican president threatened their system of cheap slave labor. Today, it’s Democrats raging over Trump cutting off illegal labor pipelines and enforcing the border. It’s not about principle — it’s about power and economic dependency. Always has been.

And here’s another thing Baldwin gets completely backward: Trump isn’t consolidating federal power. He’s devolving it. His second-term agenda includes restoring state authority on education, energy, and law enforcement. It’s the opposite of what triggered the Civil War — and the exact antidote to the bloated federalism Baldwin’s pals worship.

So maybe what Baldwin sees isn’t America on the brink of war.

Maybe it’s just the view from his Hollywood hilltop — a world where elite leftists are no longer in charge, their ideology is being rejected, and their favorite president was just humiliated at the ballot box.

And maybe, just maybe, that’s the “division” Baldwin is actually afraid of — a country not divided, but moving on from the cultural stranglehold of a class of people who thought they’d never be challenged.

Alec Baldwin should relax. There’s no civil war on the horizon. But there is a reckoning — and it looks a lot like peace, prosperity, and a federal government finally being reined in.

That’s the real horror for the left.
