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?

Something I talked about earlier in political discussions was that the Usa has a problem of neighborhoods not being as social as they used to be.

Fewer bars, ymca, gatherings. Neighbors stay inside more. Children do not play in the street so much. Very few adults walk in the streets ( compared to Europe). Religious attendance is down .

That makes grassroots and revolutionary fever hard except on the internet. And the internet is showing it sort of sucks doing that, getting people outdoors, regardless of their creed, religious or political beliefs.

All that show up are usually elites , and some people in cities.

If you look at any modern revolution, there are healthy neighborhood dynamics driving it allowing a parallel bottom up growth

In the USA, People will probably have heated comments on social media, except in some small areas of cities, with only a few casualties

It's crazy how literally every problem in the US is, at its root, a zoning problem.
