Is Civil War possible in this country in this day and age?

I can’t say that I have ever seen so many people on both sides hate each other as much as they do right now. The Rittenhouse trial has showcased that. For the life of me, I can not understand how anyone could see the evidence and think this kid did anything other than protect himself. It’s a sad state of affairs here.

Is it possible that all of this eventually comes to a head and turns into a war?? What would that kind of war look like to you?

Or do you think all of this blows over within a year or two?

I don’t think the average person hates their fellow citizens that much. But if there was a war it would look like the Breakup of Yugoslavia or the Syrian Civil War just on a massive scale. China and Russia would seize territory too while we can’t do anything.

You saw how thin the veil of law/order was last summer with the riots and then the gas shortage that hit this year and how people were freaking out

Let all that happen plus wal mart being empty with food and shite will hit the fan real quick

When the food supply dries up the shite will hit the fan. Start fasting is my recommendation

If there wasn't an uprising over a stolen election I don't know what could cause one

It definitely is possible but it's fought without guns. It's fought with economic policies.

Care to elaborate how that may look?

I got banned from a bar a few weeks ago when a Woke bartender said in an extremely racist manner that most black people don’t have IDs. I then sarcastically ask him to point out his clear blatant racism if he thinks most black people don’t know how to find the DMV, and then the bartender bans me claiming I’m a racist thinking black people don’t know where the DMV is. You tell me. We’re fricked.

One of the biggest sources of income, especially in the south, is social security, so some states break away, they give up that income.

Now if runaway inflation makes money worthless and food/gas shortages start happening, it could happen.

I think an extreme ideology seizing power a la the Nazis in the Weimar Republic is way more likely than a Civil War. But if there was a war it would be cells of people fighting to protect their communities or to advance a cause, there wouldn’t be entire states seceding like the first Civil War.

concur. Mass chaos and civil unrest of a scale we can't imagine.

I doubt 50% even know how to use a gun.

You know one way to make sure it doesn’t happen? Control gun ownership. It’s no surprise we see gun control measures constantly pushed by the dims.

I'm of the opinion that you frick around and find out. While I will never go out of my way to attend a riot, large social gathering, etc I am firmly planted in my rights granted under the Second Amendment of the Constitution of the United States.

If any person physically (regardless of their skin color, gender role that particular day, etc) threatens me or my children in a violent way, they have fricked up and found out.

We have witnessed lunatics destroying everything in their paths without consequences. The quicker we have 100,000 Kyle Rittenhouses, the better off we are as a society.

To think a 17 year old did what hundreds of thousands wished they could do is fascinating.
