All I’m going to say in regards to any kind of American civil war is this: Whoever fires the first shot loses.
That’s the primary issue everyone is up against. They don’t want to be the ones to fire the first shot because that will justify the national guard being rolled out and a massive escalation.
Mine on Kbin as of late are “The Democrat party is MUCH further right than it was when I was a Democrat. The Republican party is just straight up jerking off and fucking all of humanity as hard as possible by default. The 2 party system has failed. A Left leaning liberal has noone to vote for in 2023 America. Closest is Bernie, but he kissed the ring and lost for it.”
What is your interesting assertion that sees the forest for the trees?
On Jan 6, armies of magats attacked the Capitol Building with the explicit goal of lynching the vice president and Congress. The president was actively targeting the vice president and it was pretty much the premise of like twelve different Gerard Butler movies and is pretty much the reason that we pretend that soldiers are supposed to question the chain of command and so forth.
The military and national guard actively sat on their hands and waited to see how things would shake out. As much as I hate to acknowledge it, the Secret Service and The Boys in Blue are the ones who saved the country that day.
So no. The first shot doesn’t matter and there is no guarantee that there would even be an escalation in the face of a violent insurrection. Because there wasn’t.

It’s not going to end well for the loser.
Yes… that is how civil wars occur… Fed vs alternative government…
Yes… that is how you miss the forest for the trees… skipping interesting assertions and waxing philosophical on the definition of civil war

Double reply (oof on me).
You can dart around and say more shit.
Can you answer me? Oh wise dumbass?
What trees do you see that I mis-took for forests?
Or was that flipped?
Feels like it was flipped.
