IMO the only way any civil war will be waged in current times will be similar to the way it is today.

Half of us will be too busy working and trying to earn a good life for our families, the other half will be rioting and looting and throwing tantrums demanding reparations for all that has been sacrificed by the blood of predecessors to set them free

....UNTIL it gets like Venezeula and the supply chain breaks down, poverty creeps into the middle class infrastructure crumbles and violent crime boils over into the working peoples neighborhoods.

not until then will it turn in to a bunch of small sad and gruesome guerilla skirmishes that won't end well because the left will be supplied with heavy arms by foriegners and all we will have its whats left on the shelves of closed sporting goods stores

all this talk about civil war as a big shootout is a bunch of fantasy, people will just wear their EVENT 201 masks and get in line

Rioters could reduce us to Venezeula in three days or less if the destruction is coordinated and targeted. Most in our society today only have a limited amount of food and supplies on hand. Maybe more TP now, since covid has taught us a lesson or two about being unprepared. But that’s about it. Normalcy bias is strong in the US.

There was civil war in Iraq after we toppled Saddam Hussein. It was fed by foreign nations and domestic and international terrorists.

Same as it will be here.

The civil unrest goes on and does not play by “the rules”, only one side fights a war while the other side treats the unrest simply as criminal action AND subversives and traitors serve in the ranks of the police and government.

They will wear no uniform and see anyone who does not stand with them as an enemy combatant.

Exactly right. The herbivores formerly known as the Mercun Peepul will not gloriously rise up and patriotically fight. It's a fantasy.

Quite frankly, if what I have put aside were to be expended before I succumbed to a mortal injury, I’d be quite surprised. And I’m nowhere near as well supplied as many FReepers.

Exactly!! We may possess the majority of firearms but we are unorganized and don’t have the stomach to do real combat. We’ll take an asswhuppin like we’ve been seeing on the news and attack those who attacked us by playing keyboard warrior in the comment sections.
