People keep saying this and I personally don’t really believe it, I think there could be a couple riots, but not like a full on civil war. What does everyone think?

    Can? Yes. Contrary to common belief history is not over and white people are not exempt. Will? Maaaybe.

    I can’t see the US system self-correcting, but a deeply established democracy like the US coming apart is a new thing (all the past ones were much more ephemeral AFAIK). It could just as easily slide into one dictatorship, like Wiemar Germany, or undergo some sort of slow death as states become more and more independent of the broken national system. It’s also hard to say what the timeline is.

    There isn’t really two (or more) sides to go to war at this point. There’s only one military, and while the will to fight may exist on the Republican side they aren’t really organised for it. That could all change if this crisis goes on for many years, though.

    Why do you believe what you believe?
