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?

I don't think people who say it will happen really understand how inconvenient war is. And I use that wording to be laughable, because these are people who couldn't wear a mask because they needed haircuts. They are quite literally the people who would starve to death if they were cut off from Walmart, who are fully dependent on oil to move their cars. They are so attached to American society they wouldn't be able to maintain actual efforts for more than a couple of weeks.

Who i actually worry about are the few (I'll call them) cells who could hold out for longer, who really do think it's war. It wouldnt be full scale, but those unhinged lunatics who hoard weapons just are frothing at the mouth to hurt people.
