Pretty much nil without a deep economic crisis or military humiliation, either of which is unlikely in the next decade.

the next CW won’t be about money or pride; it will be about principle. IMO

Unless Democrats moderate, we are headed to a civil war.

One can hope.
“The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.”
And the tree goes very weak.

If history is a teacher: 100%. We are somewhere between 1850 and 1860.
The flashpoint will be an issue one side has designated as "a hill to die on."
For conservatives, it's likely the 2nd Amendment. It could be something else....maybe an assassination and some uncouth movement afterwards.
For liberals, they are already at war with us. That was apparent during the Kavanaugh hearing.

Low. The Civil War was a war for independence, a war between the states. There’s no geographic separation today.

Unless Democrats moderate, we are headed to a civil war. Generally speaking, the left won't voluntarily stop their march toward totalitarianism. They will take as much of our freedoms as we allow them to take.

He rated the odds of a second American Civil War breaking out within the next 10-15 years at 60%. Really?
That long?

The only realistic question at this point is “When did the present CWII begin?” Was it the weaponization of The FBI in relation to Presidential candidate Donald Trump or something else? Maybe Steve Scalise has an opinion.

It is like 1859, everyone is mad about something and everyone has a gun.It doesn't take over a minute to reload a gun in 2018.

I keep telling people, peaceful secession is the surest path to peace. Its obvious we have two broad “tribes” which have completely different world views and which cannot stand one another.

How about a deep constitutional crisis , like evidence of widespread democrat vote fraud overturning the people's will?
As of today, that certainly seems to be going on to steal several elections. Should the rest of us just accept them stealing power and do nothing but whine to politicians that will do nothing?

Gonna have to figure out identifying insignia or uniforms.
There’ll be a ton of friendly fire if folks can’t tell their own from the other side.

Libs, probably want abortion to be the issue.
If we can repeal off hate crimes laws or get rid of special protected classes and actually treat everyone equal under the law, that would probably trigger them as well.
