The United States today is, once again, headed for civil war, and, once again, it cannot bear to face it. The political problems are both structural and immediate, the crisis both longstanding and accelerating. The American political system has become so overwhelmed by anger that even the most basic tasks of government are increasingly impossible. The legal system grows less legitimate by the day. Trust in government at all levels is in freefall, or, like Congress, with approval ratings hovering around 20%, cannot fall any lower. Right now, elected sheriffs openly promote resistance to federal authority. Right now, militias train and arm themselves in preparation for the fall of the Republic. Right now, doctrines of a radical, unachievable, messianic freedom spread across the internet, on talk radio, on cable television, in the malls. The consequences of the breakdown of the American system is only now beginning to be felt. January 6 wasn’t a wake-up call; it was a rallying cry. The Capitol police have seen threats against members of Congress increase by 107%. Fred Upton, Republican representative from Michigan, recently shared a message he had received: “I hope you die. I hope everybody in your family dies.” And it’s not just politicians but anyone involved in the running of the electoral system. Death threats have become a standard aspect of the work life of election supervisors and school board members. A third of poll workers, in the aftermath of 2020, said they felt unsafe.

I have said this repeatedly.
People have been saying that some form of civil war is coming. But I argue that the left has already bought the early tickets.
There appears to be only two possibilities at this point, and neither of them are good.
If the right does nothing, then they might as well pack up their bags and move somewhere else, because the left plans to crush you.
And if the right does respond, this will escalate into a hot civil war.
I've given up hope that cooler heads will prevail. The writing on the wall has been plain to see for quite some time.
In the end, I don't know where all of this goes. But I'm 100% certain that no one will enjoy the experience.

I concur.
Not only this, but I believe that WWIII has been on for several years now; asymmetrical, non-traditional, fought tía large degree in the cyber realm, largely propaganda and psychological based, but we have been in the throes of WWIII for a long time now. This Civil War that you mention is just part of the bigger plan.

We need more ways to circumvent the obvious media
driven propaganda. I can't even watch Television
anymore. It's in everything, movies, television
programs and even commercials.
FBI pulls clearances of employees at Jan. 6 rally before Capitol riot: Rep. Jordan
The FBI is suspending the security clearances of employees who attended the rally before last year’s Capitol riot...
The alleged punishment is drawing accusations that FBI staffers who aren’t charged with crimes are having their First Amendment rights trampled...
...yanking of security clearances would effectively terminate employees, even if they are not charged with criminal wrongdoing linked to the riot.
People are pissed. A lot of them

What I'm getting at is..Would the events of Jan 6th in all of their tragedy, on both sides, be enough of a catalyst for You personally to revolt if the odds were decent?
It's not necessarily that I want Your specific answer, more of Your answer from an objective standpoint.
