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?

So that's your plan when Trump gums up the election in the courts and through legislative mumbo-jumbo and electoral tampering seizes power even though he lost?

As he's getting sworn in by Republicans as our illegal president and begins mobilizing the National Guard to "round up" foreigners, you'll be going back to your life?

It's interesting that you think the national guard would support him. I don't think it's as simple as that. We can be sure that most lifers in the military have considered what they would do if the unelected commander-in-chief gave an obviously unconstitutional order. It's not just a hypothetical to them.

Doesn't answer the question

What my individual plan is is irrelevant, I'm just describing what will happen. Do you forsee a future where Kamala Harris makes a call to arms for people to rise up and fight against the National Guard and the military? If so, you need a reality check.

And for the record, we already have camps that foreigners are rounded up into.

Won't result in a civil war. American libs are only capable of organizing for imperialism and complaining on the internet. They will piss and moan, but inevitably stop short of doing anything meaningful.
