Is civil war inevitable in the USA at this point?

[ansible]

In 2005 I remember playing this videogame that predicted the US collapsing into civil war. It seemed funny and ridiculous at the time, but these days...I don't know anymore.

There's also a computer forecasting model that is predicting the US is headed for civil war as well.

3. Don't think we'll be fighting at Gettysburg, but we've been in a civil war for awhile.

5. Not unless some major industries are on verge of collapse.

Real civil wars are fought over economics.
There have to be enough powerful people who are threatened with loss of status and income before a civll war is started and I don't see that happening.

Otherwise it's just a protest. Perhaps violent but not war, just a protest.

8. There are 40 million unemployed because of the pandemic.

And a lot of those jobs probably aren't coming back. So let's see how well that holds up in a year.

6. Just a one day affair.

Scheduled for November 3 of this year.

However, the aftermath will make the Reconstruction seem like a picnic.

Biden will need a Secretary of Damage Control.

12. This podcast looks at it in depth

He's pretty middle of the road but leans slightly left. He thinks the fault line will likely be urban/coastal vs rural/flyover country. It would be an assymetric confluct targeting leadership and infrastructure. And he thinks the rural side would hold most of the cards. Example: the aqueducts that supply California cities are practically undefendable. Cut off San Francisco's water and it would be on its knees in 48 hours.

13. no

racist, confederate-loving assholes are vastly outnumbered

14. No. Only scared and angry little men who fear they're losing

their place in the world want war. The rest of us just want to be treated with dignity.

16. +1000

15. No its not,

But trump and others want you to believe it is. Trump is intentionally inciting his followers , and the protesters , and now threatening his violence towards anyone who opposes him on anything. Trump wants to incite violence to play the media into helping him change attention from Biden onto him, and this spread the virus and start a riot rally. He plays media into being complicit with his actions designed to focus on only him, they should refuse doing this any more.
