All the ingredients are there and it won’t take much to put it all together.

    There’s huge numbers of armed Americans who would be on both sides.

    ITT: people who think the armed forces wouldn’t split in a civil war, and that hundreds of millions of civvy owned guns wouldn’t be a factor.

      The armaments held by private citizens are laughable in the face of the weapons in the Military.

      Any “civil war” in the US would likely be in the form of constant terrorism, not all-out gunfights.

        Once the government actually starts cracking down on the domestic terrorists, they have no chance. With all the surveillance they’ve been doing since 9/11 they’re bound to know exactly who to arrest.

          Case in point, in only a few years they’ve prosecuted hundreds of people who broke into the Capitol building. They can certainly find you.

            They still haven’t found the guy that was leaving pipe bombs around on 1/6 have they? I hear what you’re saying, but most capitol rioters got caught because they were fucking idiots.
