A Civil War in the USA? Where would the battle lines even be drawn? There is no consensus, and there are hardly even blue or red states anymore beyond 60/40 splits. Even racially we are seeing a lot less polarization.
- piperswe 2y agoI think it would be a lot more like the Troubles than the original American Civil War.
- chasd00 2y agoI live in Texas and back when the idea of succession was being thrown around I asked my friends if they’d go toe to toe with the US Marines while bombers and drones loitered above their heads. They got very quiet. I don’t think a civil war in the us is possible but I think advertisers taking advantage of the divisiveness to see chaos is likely (and already happening). Edit: I meant “adversaries” instead of “advertisers” but I think advertisers works equally well so left it in.
- chaostheory 2y agoIf it were to happen, it would also be very skewed towards one side, since only the right believes in arming themselves.
- alexilliamson 2y agoMost likely is that the side with the army and guns turns the blue areas into an occupied police state, and sells it to the constituency as a "civil war", despite it being completely one-sided.

- dragonwriter 2y ago> A Civil War in the USA? Where would the battle lines even be drawn? Clear, obvious initial battle lines are not a prereauisite for a civil war. The American Civil War, where the conflict was largely motivated by an issue which had a geographical split among subordinate polities was kimd of a special case.
