I have an idea in my mind that a civil war is an ideological conflict, the winner taking control of the state and enacting their preferred situation. Be that abolishing slavery or signing a treaty with the British… etc. in the end something changes.
If red beats blue in the US. What changes?
I can’t see it being an actual war in a traditional sense. I would imagine it more like civil unrest, perhaps along the lines of the Rwandan civil war where armed right wing militias are going to start roaming around murdering people. It’s possible this could lead to Balkanization of US too.
Hm yes. I was going to say something along the lines of “History is full of examples of the masses tolerating incredible depths of poverty and suffering without resisting…”… but when I think about the culture of the USA, and the quantity of arms at everyone’s disposal, yeah it’s hard not to see it as a very dry powder keg with sparks flying around it.
