I don't see a civil war happening in the context of everyone grab your guns and forcefully oust all our federal officials. I see it happening as more like individual states and their governors start listening to their constituants and flat out refuse federal rule and possibly secede from the Union like Texas has threatened.
The more the feds take power away from the states (citizens) the more aware state officials are waking up to the tyranny that's going on. Look at all the mayor's and sheriffs that are refusing to enforce any more legislation on gun control. People are starting to realize the feds are over-stepping their boundaries laid out in the U.S. Constitution and they're getting pissed.
And if the states that threaten to secede band together, they will dissolve the current federal government with votes of "no confidence" and start anew.
We need to hit the "reset button" because there's too much corruption in the current system.

I just don't see a violent civil war taking place. We're not like other countries.
In the end it'll be the States that say enough is enough. No need for violence, just votes.

Looks like this thread really struck a nerve. 90% of replies from trolls and Zombies.
All the elections are rigged, all the politians are bought. It's probably already past time, to burn the whole thing down. That's what it's going to take at this point
I already equate our government with the antichrist.

You think any U.S. military are going to go against another U.S. state and attack them for having seceded? Nah.
If the President ordered that he'd be removed from office and be given an extensive psyche evaluation

Why don't these punks remove the mask and run for office. Oh, because their a bunch of 'hackers' who pretend to have moral superiority and 'know what's best'. These are some of the most 'righteous' people there are.
"but they're doing it for the people", yeah so did Hitler.
Yeah, lets start a revolution... and replace it with?
The worst possible thing that could happen is that people take up arms against our government, and have no plan there after. Tell me, who are the individuals that will immediately replace our government? Would the military then control the US until a new government is established? Would we resort to a different means of putting people in office?
Anonymous; these people are dangerous, have no doubts about it.
Has anyone ever meet individuals who claim to be a part of 'Anonymous'? Not too many stand up individuals if you ask me. They're just a bunch of technologically advanced terrorists.

It wouldn't be a civil war, it would be a revolution to remove the Government.
2nd line.
When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness.
