How will the impending US civil war start? - And which side will start it?

[polyester]

Scenario "Undecided Election":

1. contested election
2. SCOTUS tasked with declaring the winner, but hung 4:4 due to no Ginsburg replacement
3. Both sides declare war

Scenario "Mitch Steals The Election":

1. Trump & Mitch install a Ginsburg replacement
2. contested election
3. SCOTUS declares Trump the winner, with the vote of the new Justice being decisive
4. The Left declares war

Scenario "Mitch Steals Biden's SCOTUS Pick":

1. Trump loses the election
2. Trump & Mitch quickly install a Ginsburg replacement between the election and Biden's inauguration
3. The Left declares war

Scenario "Biden goes full FDR":

1. Trump & Mitch install a Ginsburg replacement
2. Trump loses the election
3. President Biden stacks SCOTUS (increases the total number of seats on the court, so that he can nominate all the extra ones), saying it's justified as payback for (1)
4. Existing SCOTUS is hung 4:4 on whether he's allowed to do this, so he simply does it
5. The Right declares war

Scenario "CNN Was Right All Along":

1. Trump wins the election
2. In his second term, Trump actually becomes the Nazi dictator that the #REEEEsistance has been claiming he is all along
3. The #REEEEsistance becomes an actual armed resistance of heroic anti-Nazi fighters (lol)

1. niggers go around lynching and killing white people because racism bad
2. mexicans kill the niggers and kick them out of their neighbourhoods
3. occasional white armoured convoy runs through towns with the cartels wiping out the locals for the sake of it

Scenario "Tim Pool Dies On The Toilet"
1. Civil War

 

[DeadFish]

Irs already started as a cold civil war. Its been that way since Marxism was invented

 

[Orion Balls]

It will start when I call OP a faggot and no one will win.

 

[Cyclonus]

The most likely scenario is Trump losing the popular vote but winning the electoral college again. That'll be the last straw for blue states and they'll threaten to secede unless the electoral college is abolished.

How will the war start?

Spoiler

They came from the sun!
From the east, from the west all around!
And so fate's die is cast.
They marshaled their forces and found us at last!
So it's come to this.
The child is the destroyer.
The young god comes to slay.

WAR!!!!

Son, kill the father,
For blackness is all that I crave!
Shells explode across my hide,
Take me death, I am your slave!
For I don't have a soul!
And I don't have a heart!
Come then and face me,
But first you must suffer my wrath!

HATRED OF ALL THINGS ALIVE!!!
War is all we know!

They say that war is a last resort,
For me it's the only way!
I have tried reading them poetry,
It suits me better to slay!
All that I touch seems to break in my hands,
Then it just bursts into flames!
The piteous pleadings as innocents die,
Only an odor remains!
So burn the bitter butter!
Break out our murder machines!
Bring me my scabbard, my halberd, my hauberk!
Fetch me my enchanted greaves!

My walls they are melting!
The drugs they aren't helping!
It is the time for the old gods to die.
To arms is the only cry!

HATRED OF ALL THINGS ALIVE!!!
War is all we know!

The humans must feast on their Gods,
We know it fucking blows.
Hatred is a seed that's easy to sow,
Buckets of blood will help it to grow!
And raised on high, the fetid throne!
Death is Fate's master, he sits all alone...

The say war is all we know,
If only that were true,
No matter how I work my schedule,
There's always other things that I do.
But excuse me now, there's a tank at the door!
And that slave's head just rolled 'cross the floor...
He tries to say something and that something is puke,
Right about then the pigs set off a nuke!

War is all we know!

When I said I loved war I lied!
It fucking sucks on the losing side!!!
And speaking of which, my face is on fire!!!!
A lightning withdraw! We quickly retire!
A flurry of carnage, my brainpan is nicked!
To my unending shame, my ass just got kicked!
And as the shells fall in a relentless hail,
The fortress was gutted and we had to bail...

HATRED OF ALL THINGS ALIVE!!!
War is all we know!

The humans must feast on their Gods.
WE KNOW IT FUCKING BLOWS.

HATRED OF ALL THINGS ALIVE!!!
War is all we know.

The humans must feast on their Gods!

War is all we know.

We're more likely to get involved with WWIII before we get involved with a second civil war.

The only scenario I see a civil war erupting is if the left cheats on a massive scale and wins the executive and legistlature branches. As in every single senate and congress race has a blue winner or a blue sympathizer win. And the left just takes over ASAP and not wait for Trump to end his term. The right civilans will start making moves.

Otherwise, it ain't happening. The left can huff and puff all they want but they like being in power more than not being in power. And supporting a Coup would endanger them from ever being in power for a long time.

One reason the first civil war happened was because the military was split on a number of things. And the Confederates were able to take their forces when they left the union. Most, if not all, of the military today support Trump. The few outliers are either top brass or out of the military. Many military kiwis have spoken about why they support Trump before. So for the left to have a good shot of succeeding in their coup, they need strength. And the US military ain't it. Nor will any other military on earth help. Spoiler alert: people would rather stay comfortable than kickstart WWIII. Because that's what would happen if someone gave the left backing for a coup. There isn't a military on earth that will be willing to help them and have sufficient numbers. Most are dying, have their hands full, and/or rather do psyops to take the US out from within.

And even if you got your military, no one has ever taken on the US on its own terf sucessfully. The last attempt was 200 years ago and when the nation was a baby. Good luck even trying when we have the largest military on earth. Plus tons of civilans who'd fight along side the military.

If you think we're at the point of a civil war, you're a crazy person, a doomer, a leftist, or a prepper. Or any combination of the four. Regardless, you need to get your head checked and take a giant chill pill.

Despite doomers' claims, the United States is actually quite stable. A second civil war would be nearly impossible.

 

[DrunkenDozing]

There will be pockets of mass shootings in battleground areas and left leaning big cities. Likely Antifa will shoot first with some meth monkey reaching his breaking point and firing at the proud boy line or something. The right leaning dudes will fire back and a bunch of hippies are going to die. Itll be all over the news and the shooters will be assfucked twice by the law.

Regular people are going to be watching this unfold on tv and be left wondering how shit got this far and I hope, I hope, they pay closer attention to what their children are being taught and stop listening so much to mass media who have been pushing divides for profit for decades now.

 

[MidUSA]

Only realistic (for lack of a better term) scenario I can see is Democrats cheating bigly in the election, to the point it's blatant to anyone not fully indoctrinated, and then overplaying their hand with radical changes that they only get through the SCOTUS through court packing.

Since leftist america would have little territory and much fewer weapons in the event of a balkan style civil war, the only way for a conflict to be anything else then a quickly crushed coup, the left must have the official control of institutional power (i.e the courts, the military).

And for a serious resistance to form, they must be blatant enough to rouse the common man into armed resistance.

I suspect that the last five months or so of rioting were the Woke Left's attempts at kicking off the sequel to the Civil War that nobody asked for. They probably figured out that since they had the manpower via BLM, Antifa, and allied jogger gangs and random looters while also having vaguely sympathetic progressive city and state governments plus implicit backing from academia, the media, and corporate bigwigs affiliated with the DNC, plus a seemingly good video to use as a casus belli, it would work out.

The big wave of corporate endorsement for BLM at the start of this probably emboldened them and while a lot still endorse BLM, it's a lot more muted while several other corporations have quit saying or doing anything on the subject and hoping it goes away after the election.

The problem was that the corporate bigwigs and the DNC only endorsed and backed this coup since they thought it could help sink Trump. They weren't in it for the long haul and they just wanted something to use against the Orange Man in the election after COVID-19 gave them a rare golden opportunity to actually win this.

The Woke Left (Antifa, BLM, the DSA, The Squad) all either don't fully get that the establishment was playing them like a damn fiddle or they plain just don't give a fuck. Now the Democrats who are not Squad-affiliated are looking for a way to diffuse this without tipping their hand and also saving face instead of begrudgingly helping Trump stop a common mutual threat and they've lost control and haven't even gotten their Kent State moment yet.

The shift from George Floyd to Breonna Taylor is another sign their propaganda is still being defused or at least partly mitigated despite the increased levels of corporate censorship from Silicon Valley and the media since the 2016 election.

Kenosha Kyle is the closest thing they've got to a Kent State or Charlottesville moment and they have been doing everything they can to demonize him and brand him some white supremacist mass shooter incel strawman but it's not entirely working and even with the payment processor companies doing everything they can to disrupt funding his legal defense efforts, he's still got a lot in his fund considering how quick they were to blacklist him.

Plus there's a fuckton of video evidence that more or less exonerates Kyle of the worst charges while the victims are white males and all have checkered pasts that no reasonable person could find sympathetic. They're looking ridiculous in their hysterics and even on social media, it's now difficult to tell which close friends and family believe this crap or are just going through the motions to avoid cancel culture while others who were initially dedicated to supporting BLM have backed off and only nod or give a like to avoid suspicion.

If Trump can win the election and keep the Senate, we've got a good chance of winning this and it will blackpill a lot of the Woke Left. If Trump gets lucky and wins the election with a popular vote win, then the Dems will cut support as well.

If 2020's Clown World insanity gets so bad that it loops back around on itself with a Trump win of both the electoral college and popular votes while keeping the Senate and getting just enough seats in the House to gain a narrow majority, then the Woke Left is imperially fucked and these five months will be used against them.

TL;DR-If Trump wins, Antifa and BLM are going to be up shit creek without a paddle

 

[Eris!]

I don't know who but it will definitely start with a president being assasinated.

If you think we're at the point of a civil war, you're a crazy person, a doomer, a leftist, or a prepper. Or any combination of the four. Regardless, you need to get your head checked and take a giant chill pill.

I think it's safe to say most of us are one of those four.

As for how it'll happen, it's going to probably transpire over several days of rioting in major cities. Think the Rodney King riots but on a massive scale.
