Not coming. Already here.

The only thing that prevents outright war is prosperity. Almost all of us have enough to be satisfied in some way. Lacking that, we would be at Civil War.

We remain to comfortable to fight for our rights because we have enough stuff.

The rat party and their republican cohorts have erected a socialist system within a capitalist system, the haves support the, do not want to work, the lazy, the dependent for a slew of reasons, single mothers, ethnic so called disparity (redistribution), new government programs on top of the many all ready in effect (if its free its for me). Eventually the scale will tip and this is where you will see the tax payers on the hook revolt

I have always maintained that as long as Joe six-pack is able to watch his sports in his man cave and recliner a CW-II would not be possible.

Correct. If the US had the same standard of living as Yugoslavia in the 1990's or Iraq an Syria in the 2000's, we would have had a civil war along racial lines far more savage than anything that happened in the Balkans or the Middle East. What this proves is that all of the whining about "minority poverty" in the US simply isn't true, because what we're calling poverty is prosperity by much of the world's standards. Even our "poor" have too much to lose materially to throw it all away in armed conflict, apart from those who are career criminals regardless of circumstances.

I think you’re correct. I don’t think Americans will fight unless they feel that they have something to lose.
