    I fear it won’t be organized militias like the US civil war. A force with armies, clear borders, is much easier to fight against.

    It’ll be more like the IRA. Lots of domestic terrorism, mostly acts committed by “lone wolfs”.

    And for what? Some orange turd? State’s right to commit human rights violations?

      It would absolutely not be like the US civil war, and I’m honestly not sure it’d be the troubles either. I don’t think they have the organization or discipline of the IRA (which itself had multiple iterations and factions).

      I think we will see more Unite the Right / fascist marches and we will see terrorist attacks, but the “militias” aren’t going to be the ones who constitute an existential threat to the US. That’s going to be Trump 2 or whatever else they come up with.

        I just envisioned a nightmare horror-comedy pairing Jan 6th with Weekend at Bernie’s and feel kinda bad for laughing so hard? XD
