I left the country to study abroad in 2012, and after 2016 was firmly in the camp of never moving back

Can I ask where you moved?

Luvon ,

Sure, I moved to study abroad in Salzburg Austria and graduated here
It’s a very pretty city

How do they react to migrants and how long did it take for you to integrate?

ImplyingImplications ,

For there to be a civil war, both sides need an army. The US president will have the US army, and the other side might as well have nerf guns. The civil war would last an afternoon.

If there's going to be anything, it's an increase in domestic terrorism.

JayDee ,

It would be a guerilla collective against a conventional force that's consistently failed against guerilla tactics.

There's no way to know how long it'd last or how it'd impact politics, but targeted acts of terrorism in cities would likely become a more common tragedy. It would pretty much gaurantee US states increasing their police forces and personal rights eroding, and I'm not looking forward to that.

No, these guys are way less organized than last time and Donald Trump is getting fucked in court still. I think its less likely now than it was 4 years ago. The GOP is fracturing and losing steam. Senators and governors are still a threat but not in the civil war type of way I don't think.

Patches ,

What exactly is required to be a threat in the civil war type? Besides Guns and a feeling of not being represented?

nikita ,

Come to Canada, y’all

Mossheart ,

No, don't. We need to build more homes first and we're already way behind.

Maybe I'm being naive but I don't think we're quite at that point yet. People angry about the 2020 election were a loud minority

pinkdrunkenelephants OP ,

Someone made a laundry list of evidence demonstrating it'll very likely be an actual thing but I can't find it anywhere. When I do, I'll post it

EDIT: AHA! I FOUND IT! It's a Reddit comment, but so it goes. Blatantly ripping off here:

It's not just the insurrection act.

It includes:

1-Argue that Article 2 of the Constitution gives the president power to do whatever he wants.

2-Fire the civil service and replace it with Trump loyalists.

3-Use the DoJ to target critics

4-Weaken the election security agency

5-Reject climate change

6-Remove all LGBTQ+ protections

7-Bring the Bible into government

For reference, they're talking about this monstrosity of a plan Trump has set up for if he takes power in November. Don't actually vote against Biden even if you support Palestine. Shit's unreal. Shit's very clear and obvious .50 cal territory.
