Is the US heading towards another civil war?

I doubt it. Nobody wants to sit in a trench and get shot at when they can stay inside with Netflix and Grubhub.

I would prepare just in case.

The Pentagon is far too powerful for a realistic "civil war" type scenario to take place within America. The only way it would logically happen is if there were a split within the U.S. military itself, and they really are the key factors in any such conflict. You also have to consider the geography of the country, which really doesn't lend itself well to battle lines being drawn.

A fat boomer riding with shotgun on a scooter versus a triggered multi-dyed haired liberal at Starbucks is not a civil war. That's just a domestic dispute. Even if every single armed militia banded together to form an American styled Isis, they'd still get bodied very hard by the Pentagon and deep pocketed defense contractors.

Not saying that there is no threat at all, but I'd say random domestic terrorism is much more likely than an all-out civil war.

I agree. A civilian uprising would be quickly crushed by America's domestic spy apparatus, militarized police and regular military.

It's not ideal to return to the violence of 60's or earlier though.

Not sure why they put a woman. I have been hearing this since 2000s and supposedly it started in the 1990s.

A real civil war involves the government too. You sound European so not a surprise. The civilian stuff will be an issue because if the situation is drastic enough government employees will join in. You already see the nonsense between different races of people with police and civilian not being so rough on each other or per ethnicity. So yeah it would be a mess for all. That will not end well and would probably be worse for government employees because Bob who no one likes in whatever agency they are in the Federal Government will be in danger when the people working there realize there are issues.

People are affected as it is by natural disasters and something like this is not cool so not a focus.

I kind of want the conservative states to try it just so we can finally declare the Republican party the terrorist organization it is and end Fox News and other propaganda networks pretending to be news.
