    Oh come on do people seriously believe boater kulaks are going to step foot outside of their lifted f-150s to fight a bloody civil war? These types that vow violence for a trump loss can’t stand summer without ac let alone living in the pocconos eating spam and field dressing gunshot wounds.

      Just because they won’t personally fight doesn’t mean they won’t support the conscription of a bunch of young men to fight for them. It’s not as if most confederate soldiers in the US civil war were slave owners.

      I don’t expect this will be an actual war, more of a mass civil unrest. I certainly wouldn’t dismiss the possibility of this happening as the material conditions in US continue to erode.

    What is this hypothetical civil war going to look like, exactly? GOP/Trumpists/militias/Nazis vs. troops loyal to the institution and processes of the USA? Because there’s 0% chance the average democrat is going to pick up a gun and fight lol. The democrats neutered their own base despite having easy access to guns and training to fend off a potential threat.

      I can’t see it being an actual war in a traditional sense. I would imagine it more like civil unrest, perhaps along the lines of the Rwandan civil war where armed right wing militias are going to start roaming around murdering people. It’s possible this could lead to Balkanization of US too.
