This is the most divisive political climate the United States has seen in decades. People on both sides fundamentally disagreeing with each other, with no hope of reconciliation or compromise. So how likely is it that we're on the verge of a second civil war? What are your thoughts? Do you think Americans - on [i]either[/i] side of the argument (nationalists and globalists alike) - are mad enough to start a revolt over what they believe is happening to this country, or are we too lazy and complacent for that sort of thing? If a civil war [i]does[/i] happen, how will you respond?

  • People dont resort to murdering each other if they disagree on political agenda. The only real reason to kill someone for arguing is when they say the prequels were better.

    • People are saying " the liberals don't have guns so the rednecks would win" They seem to forget that fighting trained European rioters funded by Soros is a little harder than that But make no mistake, if it comes down to it, us rednecks [i]will[/i] win. We ain't gonna pussy out again

    • Once of the the radical groups could sustain an insurgency we will most likely begin to see the beginning of a new civil war. But at first it will just be called terrorism.

      • It's more likely now than it has been at any point in the last 150 years, but still highly unlikely. I'd like to think we are better than that.

      • The majority of people couldn't shoot a person even if they wanted to. The military trains against that kind of thing. Gives them a bit of an advantage.

        • So some of you think a civil war will happen under my administration. Trump is strong, Trump is great. I am clearly to powerful to be toppled. If any other nations try to help these rebels then I will wipe them out.

        • No chance. Our political climate is so polarized right now that no one actually supports 'their' side completely and only do so publicly because they feel like they need to in order to be in order to appear politically informed.

          • Not likely. Those who would push for an offensive civil war against Trump are too disorganized and not prepared.

            • You think us lazy liberals have it in us to upend the system already in place and fight for our lives against our fellow Americans? No. We'll just win in four years after the Donny ruins this country.

              • It's always somewhat likely but a very low chance. While most say they are ready to fight in reality, when bullets start flying they will say "-blam!- this!"

                  A civil war would literally destroy this country. Reduce it to a third-world nation. Destroy our economy. Devalue our currency to the point of worthlessness. Cause the death of our loved ones. And completely destabilize our lives unlike anything any of you who have never been to a war-torn country could ever even imagine. And anyone who thinks all that is a better option than compromise with each other is a -blam!-ing moron. So I completely expect it to happen any day now.

                • Even so, I think most of the Right wing Trump supporters would defend themselves because it is mostly unpatriotic to start anything. The Right has always and still tries to reconcile or compromise with a bunch of volatile college students. But their anti gun and ''non violent'', remember? So most of them would just be loud people with knives and mêlée weapons, and the only ones with guns would be the blind thugs, illegal Hispanics/African American chest beaters. Their only other help would be if a military coup happens, or Mexico declares war with us and supply the regressive babies and thugs/illegal with weapons. And maybe other Mexican/south American Troops. Which I doubt Mexico would fight head on, but if they did, they would need to send in not only troops, but cartels and mercenaries, literally exposing the entire dark side that is most of north are of South America. Which in it of itself will most definitely not happen. Here we have the citizens with guns protecting ourselves, plus the police, the other part or parts of the military that did not join the coup. Plus Canada maybe, because we have a weird contract about War, and Russia would 100% help the Right/non Leftist regressive. The ones that just want law and order. Or the America they know and love. I realize I didn't mention anything about the UN but they would maybe help by trying to retain peace, or help the Americans against the Rebels. Any flaws with this theory or stuff you may want to add, feel free to make the necessary comments.

                  • A short lived civil war if it does happen. Though if it happens... then... Then that means you have all lost it, left and right... I wish you would all realize that you are just two sides of a damaged coin. The sides of the coin lie flat, but the edge, the middle, moves on, keeps rolling... "Arrogant creatures! Your deaths will be instantaneous, while we shall suffer the progress of infinitude!"
