Alec Baldwin: US 'in a pre-Civil War culture now'

Alec Baldwin says the country is in a “bad” state of political division, describing it as a “pre-Civil War environment.”

“Boy, you can see now that we are in a pre-Civil War culture now,” the “30 Rock” star said in an Instagram video posted Tuesday.

“When they describe things back then politically there were profound differences of course in terms of just history, and age and what life was like back then, and cotton and slavery,” Baldwin, 66, said.

“When I look at the politics of it, of where people are in this country today, and the division, and how they’re holding fast and no one’s going to falter, no one’s going to break or compromise and it’s bad,” the Academy Award-nominated actor told his 2.5 million social media followers. 

The performer, whose involuntary manslaughter charge stemming from an on-set shooting while filming his movie “Rust,” was dismissed by a New Mexico judge last year, has been a vocal critic and sometime “Saturday Night Live” impersonator of President Trump. 

Baldwin said his thoughts were triggered after recently watching Ken Burns’s 1990 TV documentary series “The Civil War.”

“In order for us to get anywhere, it doesn’t seem likely right now,” he said.

“Watching this show really reminded me of how we are in a very similar state now, in a pre-Civil War culture,” Baldwin said.
