    You and I are on the exact same page here. That's precisely my entire fear and why I think we will indeed have a civil war in the future.

    I live in the rural country and have been face to face with these militia types. They absolutely are not a joke or LARP'ers like people say online and think. Many of them have firearms training and are ex-military, and they are armed to the teeth.

      People claiming they're a bunch of dumbass larpers are coping hard. A lot of them are but I guarantee there are more of them that are dead serious than there are of us, and they are much better prepared. They even have the geographic advantage of being rural. They could surround the city and starve it out if they wanted.

      With that said, they can't really rise up completely without opposition from some state forces, and I think that's where the civil war will start. Cops and militias fighting feds and NG troops would be fucking wild. It sounds ridiculous now but it could happen. Shit like that happened when the USSR was collapsing.
