I am not an American, so don't have a clear picture of how the situation is over there (does sound bad), or how likely it actually is for something like a Civil War to break out, but I am hearing about it a lot from all sorts of people.
On the other hand, nothing of the sort seems to be happening, even though the US is supposedly being destroyed, stolen elections, inflation, tensions everywhere, left and right seemingly incapable of coexisting anymore, immigrant invasion, LGBT shit everywhere, people's kids groomed everywhere, and so on.
If all this is not enough, then what will it take? How would it happen? Who would fight with whom?
Based on the fact that nothing has happened so far with all of the above, and more, it sounds like nothing will ever happen.
Civil war would have been on the menu if Joe Manchin allowed the Democrats to nuke the filibuster and start ramming through all the shit they want to do to make it impossible for Republicans to take back power, such as amnesty for illegal, statehood for PR and DC, and ramming through their federal election law changes designed to disadvantage republican voters. On top of that they'd push their whole destructive agenda that would piss everyone off.
Under those circumstances, locked out of fair elections and facing the Democrat utter destruction of the country, the Republicans would have likely initiated nonviolent resistance aimed at disrupting the ability of Democrats to do things. The Democrats would have likely responded with mass arrests, making martyrs of the Republicans, and escalating to private citizen protestors also getting disruptive. Again, more mass arrests and political persecution. Eventually, the Democrat side would start shooting, like with Ashli Babbit, and then the Right would arm up and begin to organize for actual combat. The media would go nuts, and everyone would start to take sides and do battle. There's your civil war.
Now that there is a big voter backlash to what little the Democrats were able to do in their 2 years of power (basically just wasting money and driving up inflation), and since we are getting a red wave this November, and then again in 2024, it seems pretty clear that the crisis was averted and things will start to get sorted out through the normal corrective systems.
We'll see how the Dems do with their calls for a "stack the court" bill
It's only a crisis if the Dems are outnumbered. If they outnumber, then "that's democracy for ya"!
Democrats only like Democracy when they're winning. As soon as they start losing, they go full Alinsky with "direct action" communist tactics designed to disrupt democratic institutions.
