There ain't gonna be a civil war as long as folks have jobs, mortgages, car payments, boat payments, kids in college and the kids in high school that need to be shuttled to and from their sports practices during the week and the games on weekends........

Just look at the Bundy Ranch standoff.....Weren't too many people interested in that crap........

Sorry Michael Savage, there ain't gonna be a civil war in my lifetime............Take your meds!

At some point, individuals hit their personal limits and make personal dramatic change. Notably, comes a point where a great many do so all at once for often unclear reasons but to dramatic cumulative result. I may have much of the litany of obligations you note, but there is always an alternate life I can roll over to at short notice - maybe at great personal cost/disruption, but I’m among the productive that can start over at a moment’s notice and rebuild wherever - and relish the process.

I thInk that conservatives have a much longer fuse because they have so much to lose -jobs, families, careers, etc.

However, I also think that when those are put at risk, they are more likely to take long-term, permanent action, not just have a protest or two. “Civil War”, as it were.

My opinion only? I thought that Hillary would get elected, and make a grab for people’s retirement funds. Alll those trillions would be too much for a greedy gasping harpy like her to ignore. And THAT would have been the catalyst.... people’s life savings being stolen by the government. Glad that it did not come to pass.

Completely concur with you.
I have awesome family and friends, a terrific job, a sweet home in a nice town, cool cars, and a bunch of other things that make me happy.

Even if Maxine Waters herself walks President Trump out of the White House in handcuffs and hangs him from the nearest yardarm, whom exactly will I shoot in my neighborhood in revolt?
My lovely (yet misinformed) leftwinger neighbors whom I've known more than a decade?
My various running, cycling, and gym friends because they pulled the lever for Hillary Clinton?

Conservatives tend to be pretty relaxed. I just don't envision us marching in the street.
We have too much happiness and too much to live for...than to burn our towns.
