Here in Southern California, things are surprisingly unaffected.
Just mirroring what a lot of people are speculating. In my area people are starting to get a little wild although not to the extent that it is in other areas, but its there.
Civil wars seem to start with dissention, followed by riots, looting, etc. The lunatic fringe comes next such as people looking to cause trouble being bussed in out of state, then later the shooting starts after they run out of rocks to throw.
Now to see if people are going to escalate things further gangland style with organized skirmishes on a regular basis that will produce casualties requiring military intervention in order to put it down.
Its been how long this has been going on now?
I think it all depends on if the military starts coming under fire themselves. That hasn't happened yet but I think its a matter of time until that starts.
Its just a theory for now, but if civil war does start, I think it might occur when election results are acknowledged and people go ballistic more than they are now.
I think we get complacent and overconfident in thinking it will never happen here in the US and only in other countries where civil war erupts.
I do think we are divided enough to consider its a real possibility.
