    Well if it happens, it sure ain't going to be like the last one. A free for all guerrilla boog is all I see. You won't know who to trust or side with, except with a small circle of trusted friends

    While I had hoped for a different outcome, seeing the massive outbreak of TDS after Trump got elected, I've suspected this sort of outcome fora while now, on the assumption he'd get 2 terms. This would (and clearly has) drive the leftists so mad that when they inevitably get in after Trump's 8 years are up, they will go utterly berserk passing all sort of asstarded nonsense trying to "undo the damage of the Trump administration" all to the gleeful cheering of the MSM.
    This will finally piss off enough people on the right to get them off the pot and into action, OR alternatively, so embolden the left into overt action that the people on the right will not have a choice anymore but to act.
    So yeah, IF Trump wins the second term... Boog in 5.
    If no second term, I suspect they might want to drop that estimate down to 2-3, circumstance dependent.
    Of course, I've been wrong before, so who really knows. Might as well shake my magic 8-ball.

    I remember when it was GONNA HAPPEN after:

    Ruby Ridge
    Waco
    OK City Bombing
    Bush / Gore stolen election
    9-11

    Seriously, if an actual factual shooting war between two large groups got even close to the level of the Rodney King riots it would get shut down so fast we'd finally break the speed of light.

    I don't care who is doing what for what reason, when the actual army shows up all the LARPers are going home.
    It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.

    Well, I think we are in an ideological civil war now and have been for a long while. You don't have to have guns blazing to take over a country. You can do it by removing God from everything, indoctrinating children in school, destroying the family unit, making people dependent on gubbamint handouts, controlling speech and media.... this sounds familiar for some reason. The progressive liberal left is so much more organized and has moved this country towards it's goals that I really wonder if the idea of the founding principles of this country will survive past this next election cycle.

    Here, check this out. There is at least one part of the government now actively working to implement these issues into policy in this country, so for those who think we are not a socialist country now, keep dreaming the dream:

    To respectfully disagree-
    I too well remember each of those things, and a few more..like the '94 AWB.
    But in all those situations added together, at NO point in time were things this far gone. Add in the covid bullshit, add in another flare up of that, add in the most divisive election coming in American history, add in a media, that while they were liberal then...have gone unashamedly commie/leftist/facist/retarded/ FAKE, full blown lying rats...1000 times worse now than then, add in the current crop of millennial dumbfvcks who are so ignorant of history...hell ignorant of EVERYTHING, and add in two political parties that will never again work together for the American good, NEVER be bipartisan, add in we have BLATANT anti-American congressmen/women..AOC & the muslims..in congress & throughout America...this is NOTHING like then. Add in a supposedly "right wing" SCOTUS that just in the past two day just FVCKED US BUT GOOD.
    I actually cannot believe anyone can, today, poo poo the idea we are dying as a nation AS WE SPEAK.
    WHO, is gonna "shut down an actual factual shooting war"? Thats ridiculous- man the fuzz cant even hold their own damned buildings!
    We are in 100% uncharted territory now. And the thing that makes it worse & worse & worse is the demonic American media...From A to Z, including & ESPECIALLY "conservative" FOX news. My ASS they are conservative...theyve lied and propaganda'd as much as anyone.
    We aint seen NOTHING yet. Wait until fall, when the demonrats drop that OCTOBER SURPRISE they are cooking up as I type this.
    Either way the election goes- America is screwed.
    We were once a moth that transformed into the most beautiful of butterflies, envy of planet Earth.
    Now, that butterfly is cocooned and will soon open back up into a freakin piss ant.

    Interesting how the article broke down who tended to believe that a second CW was coming. I'd actually be curious what the responses would be if instead of Civil War, they asked people how likely various elements of civil wars would be, such as armed and violent confrontations between populations and the government, or violence between communities. I wager a bet that the number would be higher, even though those are some of the terms used in defining a civil war. Too many Americans are blinded by "THE Civil War" to understand the term in other contexts.
    It's f*****g great, putting holes in people, all the time, and it just puts 'em down mate, they drop like sacks of s**t when they go down with this.

    I wish we would have a civil war it would be better than what's coming. Even if Trump gets re elected and by some chance we take back the house and keep the Senate, what good will it do? Are we going to have another Paul Ryan or Worse Speaker Crybaby? with a mix of conservatives vs the never Trumper GOP?
    The Judicial system is a ****ing joke as we saw the Supremes go overboard for the LGBTQ alphabet crowd and give the shaft to the second amendment. What I see is maybe at best is balkanization and a breakup of the United States the way Yugoslavia did. And to me that's even better than where we are heading which is full on communism.

    If that is all you see happening in a civil war, you are in fantasy land. The food and delivery chain will be broken. Millions of innocent people and families will die and/or be victimized. Starvation will be rampant and starvation will make people do anything....think about that for a second.....anything. Will it fix things in the end....maybe...maybe not...it all depends who comes out in control... but realize if it happens, you, I and our kids are definitely not going to be living to see that result.

    All of this plus targeted assassinations of politicians and judicial leaders, hit & run destruction of structures representing opposition, etc. I see a guerilla war, with most people just hunkering down and laying low to protect what they have. Personal contact with leadership from any political side will be a thing of the past, and LE will breakdown, except for large shows of force moving thru certain areas rounding up trouble makers. The gun trade will be just that - a trade or barter economy that's a black market. Ammo and firearms will be part of a new prohibition that will be bought and sold in the shadows. The supermarkets will be closed and fuel will be rationed.

    For those of us in rural America, we anticipate a loss of information to know what is going on. We are on satellite for TV and internet, and that will probably go away. We may even lose electric power, and we anticipating that as well. We will survive with some electric power via Solar and Wind, and both of these for pumping water from our wells. Back in the Old West days, it was dried salt pork or beef and beans of some kind. Meat we won't be lacking for and I have a multi-year supply of dried beans.
