No

We are going to have a war with someone else, though, and we're going to have to watch our own backs for Americans trying to stop America from winning. Can't have SJWs in a war, sadly

No.
So long as suburbs exist, there will always be enough indifference to prevent large-scale civil conflict.

Of course, a meaningful campaign to dismantle the suburbs will result in a civil war fairly quickly.

not a chance.

There aren't nearly enough people who have that much interest in politics. Even at the height of the civil unrest these past few years, there were really only isolated incidents of violence between sides.

I disagree. Most military personnel are in the south, who do you think is gonna pilot these drones? There is booming industry in the south, it isn't like someone can burn/starve them into submission like grant did.

All of the tactics of civil war part 1 would fail, so you really think drones and a military that is more than half gone is going to defeat the south? Not a chance.

The south suffers from a combination of factors causing them to threaten their neighbors with organized conflict. Isolation. Old bad blood. Weapons-training with nobody to actually fight. The sense that their way of life is erroding in the face of the modern world. A god complex. The list goes on. Id be happy if I never stepped foot in south-eastern USA ever again.

Do you think the military/defense staff of the south are gonna bomb their own people?

Where do you think these drones and missiles are located? Huntsville, Alabama. Houston, Texas.

I thought we were talking a full scale "Civil War 2", like with Generals and shit. If you wanna move the goalpost and say 100% of the military is going to fight on the North side then yeah that would probably be so, but that isn't how civil war 1 was fought, and I disagree that it would ever happen like that.

White collar crime is a different story.

Look at the way they act, and how their personalities seem to just center around right wing politics and nothing else. They clearly don't have all that much to live for.

I'll say 20% chance in next 10 years, 50% in next 25.

I think we were a lot closer this year than we like to admit. Trump started undermining the 2020 election in 2016 when he made those lies about millions of illegal votes. Still to this day ~ half of all republicans believe the 2020 election was stolen. I bet if he got that number to 75% it would have happened.

He also stated he wouldn't necessarily concede / accept the results of the election years before it was held. His team made plans on how to keep him in power, how to sell it.

You're making a big assumption about how easily you think military personnel will be to bomb their family, friends, and neighbors from their home towns.

If it came down to a real, bloody civil war between factions of states, the military would probably see a schism too.

That said, a civil war like that seems extremely unlikely.

I mean what reason is it for me to come from NC and go and kill people in NYC?

Not really? By that logic, they wouldn't be willing to bomb anywhere since people come from all walks of life in the military and the initial post I responded to is also wrong.

You're also assuming that the places they bomb will all be inhabited by people they know personally and/or even like

You don't know what you're talking about.

It is one thing to attack people in another country to promote the interests of your own. It is another to expect them to be entirely okay with bombing their own people, without dissent.

Just the fact that you would say they would "definitely" do it because it is "literally their job" demonstrates how out of touch you are. If you tell soldiers to attack their home states, the likely response you'll get is "Shit, no."

And they would literally push him aside and have the next person do it.

That's how war works.

If there was another Civil War, whoever went against the government would lose within a week.

We're already in a Cold Civil War. We have a major political party that has an open white nationalist insurgency within it and they have hitched their wagon to them. We have another party where most of the members are too milquetoast, flaccid, institutionalists who are more concerned about keeping the institutions intact than they are about protecting this country.

I mean hell, we had some chuds up in Michigan that were arrested on a plot to kidnap the governor last year.
