I predict civil war in the USofA: make your predictions here!

That's the only thing in your post that wasn't laughable. Sadly, you didn't even mean that part that way, but anyway...

Speaking of laughable, the idea of a Civil War breaking out is just that. At most it would be 2020 revisited, perhaps ramped up somewhat. If necessary, troops would be brought in to quell the hissy fit losers and that would be that. Or that SHOULD be that... but of course there's always the possibility of our "leaders" once again being hesitant and limp-wristed about keeping the peace by giving people a wide berth to break a wide variety of laws because they're offended and God forbid we enforce the law on such poor downtrodden little things. Just let them do whatever they want. Maybe even pat them on the head and offer them milk and cookies as they loot and pillage and destroy property and set fire to cop cars (etc etc etc).
 
No civil war for obvious reasons; there are no obvious geographical boundaries where the passions are strong enough to override the structural opposition to any secession movement. Dudalb suggests a liberal opposition to Trump will raise a revolution. That seems highly unlikely outside of San Francisco, Portland and Seattle. If Harris wins the idea of a conservative revolution is likely to end up like January 6th--a farce, but at a much smaller scale.

You spend too much time listening to Trump.

Trump has a fantasy of an army overthrowing the government and installing him as the leader. He has conned a small crowd to join his fantasy.

IMO that's a far as it goes.

Refreshing. As you can see, many disagree.

So you believe that someone duly convicted of 34 felons should serve time in prison?
 
No civil war. Sorry.

Once you get off social media and take a walk, or go shopping you'll find that Americans are getting along just fine. The majority have better things to do than start shooting at their neighbors over political woo.

Indeed. There are so many better reasons to shoot at our neighbors than politics!

You're wrong. Cascadia, Baby!

We will win after we eradicate all those Easterners (of Pacific states), plunder their resources and elect the ghost of Karl Marx as President; there's no stopping.

If there's a civil war, it won't be another north-south thing. It'll be hand-to-hand combat between congressional districts wherever you happen to live.

That's not an argument. That was nothing at all.

Honest to God, I thought you were talking about the Trumpanzees till the last words. You think.people protesting cops murdering black people are "hissy fit losers"? That suggests you think the winners are the ones who get to kill black people. All lives matter indeed. Just some more than others, it seems.

Are you saying that someone who committed a crime hasn't committed a crime? I get that in a court of law a defendant has a presumption of innocence. But let's not pretend that Trump hasn't brazenly broken more laws than the the 32 he's been convicted of.

Yeah, but saying he has committed a crime means nothing until he's tried and convicted of that crime.
