It all hinges on how many Q people and other Trump supporters are out there and how many of them are willing to take up arms against the government. I don't think there are enough of them to be a match for our military. Some people think that part of the military would join the rebels, but I don't think there would be many of those, either. Anyway, I think a civil war could happen, but it probably wouldn't last long.
