Judging by the number of times I've read something similar, A lot of people lately seem to be imagining a civil war is imminent, but it actually takes more than angry people who hate each other. The overwhelming majority of people screaming at each other online would not actually put their life on the line for this rage. As bad as things may seem to them, they're still far too comfortable. The events of January 6, that are laughably called an "insurrection" represent the level that the small minority of people even willing to leave their homes to do anything are at, and it's nowhere near what's needed for war. There are small pockets of people capable of organized violence that can do small events of organized violence. They exist. Some are desperate and ready to die, but that number is vanishingly small. A civil war, even in just one city is completely impossible under current conditions.
