Expand The left. Because no matter how good things are, the left believes it will never be fair for everyone, and the only way to make things fair for everyone is for the government to be in charge of everything and dole it out appropriately. Fortunately, the left's idea of a civil war is an Antifa gathering or hiring idiots to harass people at dinner. The fight would be swift and they would be waving a white flag out the front door of every Starbucks in the country before you rang the dinner bell. Edited July 8, 2018 by LABillzFan

#34fan Posted July 8, 2018 Author Posted July 8, 2018 (edited) Total Anarchy is more likely than an actual war. In the unlikely event that the central government were taken out, the states would mobilize the national guard to protect the peace. What you'd need to worry about is whatever replaces the central government... For example, -Mike Huckabee and the evangelicals might try to form a new central government/theocracy. -There'd be pushback on something like that, and many states would choose not to follow. You'd also have to consider the population itself.... Generations of free-thinking has left us so factional, that we'd naturally separate from those with different interests, and ally with those consitent with our politics.... There'd be untold numbers of competing groups defending their interests, and protecting their people. Meanwhile, what about the electrical grid? -Does everyone have access clean water? -Medical services? Are sewage and water treatment facilities still operational? Expect diseases like cholera, influenza, and dysentery to take out tens of thousands... It'd be pretty Darwinian to say the least.

Even if someone fires a gun at one of those skirmishes what do people think will actually happen next? Masses of people aren’t going to meet on a battlefield like the old school battles of the civil war and fight each other. The police and military would never allow it. We would see blockades and curfews almost immediately. Riot police and the National guard would get in the middle. I guess some people think rural factions will try to go to inner cities and have a shooting war, or vice versa. Good luck with that. Those people in those militias would be stopped with force or arrested and the “war” is over. The two fringe extremes on each side are the ones causing violence. 90% of Americans don’t give a **** and just want to live their life. Now if our government ever oppressed us enough for us to reach our breaking point, and we actually rallied together as one, I could see us having a civil war but even that is unlikely to ever happen in modern times. Expand The basic idea would be more like a left-controlled government versus revolting rural centers. And it could easily go past isolated skirmishes.
