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?

    While I agree civil war is unlikely, there are paramilitary groups in the republican party, which Frontline investigated.

    I could see a more minor version of The Troubles taking place.

      Groups “in” and groups “of” are two very different things. The militias that exist are pretty wimpy, and pretty fractured. I’d guess 90% of militiamen are also full of shit, but with more merchandise.

      If there was a power vacuum they’d get bigger, but that seems unlikely with so many various established authorities in the mix. I could see them getting coopted into whatever hypothetical faction, though, or just doing terrorist attacks.

      Unfortunately, I can’t actually see that video.

        How do you define the destinction? I assume you’re only counting ‘in’ as officially recognized by the republican party, the political entity?
