And? Do you think Americans are willing to give up everything they have and start warring with each other? Because a civil war will mean exactly that. You think inflation is bad, civil war would crater the economy like no modern-American has ever experienced. Americans don’t even want to give up their private healthcare, and y’all talking about civil war.

>And? Do you think Americans are willing to give up everything they have and start warring with each other? Because a civil war will mean exactly that. You think inflation is bad, civil war would crater the economy like no modern-American has ever experienced. I dont see civil war as an inevitability. Civil unrest seems inevitable. Then again not exactly much of a prediction there given ongoing civil unrest. Also I don't believe civil war is rational as you project it to be. Imagine republicans take over in midterms. Speaker of the house becomes Trump. They then impeach and remove biden and harris making Trump president again. What happens? Imagine democrats clean sweep the election and they were boarding up windows again. Blue wave... what happens?

  > They then impeach and remove biden and harris making Trump president again. What happens? The GOP needs a 2/3 senate-majority to remove Biden, which won't happen. Best they can do is impeach, but not remove. What happens in these cases? More of the same bullshit. Yes, there will probably be some form of civil unrest. But not war. I agree with you that civil war isn't rational, but it does require enough people being onboard with it. I think when push comes to shove, most people realize that they want nothing to do with it. Just like the riots and protests we saw, most people dip out when shit hits the fan. The people that stay are the extremists. My personal opinion is that what we are seeing is the extremists of both parties. The vast majority of people might have leanings one way or another, but they do not subscribe to most of the ideas pushed by the extreme ends of their parties. They are mostly just tired of the bickering and ineffectiveness of our government.
