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?

    The better answers in these comments already explain the main reason the answer is no, but I want to add how impractical it is given the purple reality of most communities.

    In my townhome community, there are about 33-33-33 split between Harris, Trump, and unvoting across 17 units (most unvoting being green cards like my wife). If Trump straight up announced a civil war, would my neighbor go to war with me? Extremely unlikely, especially since one of the Trumpsters adore my kids and would probably shut down anyone trying shit.

    I think most modern day civil wars are military coops, and that just isn’t happening here. You might see some militia and unrest, maybe another Jan 6, but that’s not the same as a real civil war.
