I don't think civil war is really feasible. The level of organization required to mount any significant resistance is pretty high. The last US Civil War was largely possible because states had militias instead the country having a standing army. Those organizational units that can stand separate don't really exist. And the ease with which individual cells can be found and leadership eliminated with precision strikes is pretty insane.

I think the financial collapse is more likely. We've got a lot of push towards gilded age policy which led to the great depression.

@ViciDraco I was thinking more of vigilante types

@SW-User A wave of domestic terror could happen, though I imagine it would be short lived. But rather intense in the middle of it

@ViciDraco Each household in my family have enough guns and ammo to supply like 200 or more people for a prolonged firefight. Many country ppl here do.

@pride49 that's a very different thing from having the organization, discipline, and morale to pull anything significant off.

It's plenty for a brief act of terror. It's plenty for a one-off publicity stunt like "holding some ground". But once this is more than one group taking action, games will not be played. Prolonged firefights aren't how a "civil war" would go. In a civil war, the leadership for your cell would be identified and drone striked. Hell, they likely already have enough information to analyze who the primary targets would be.
