They'll cry "IDIOCRACY!" at us while they get excited over Taylor Swift publicly showing support for Kamala Harris.
The funniest part about this is that it really feels like Swift wanted nothing to do with politics but was forced to say something - whether by her managers or by social pressure, who knows or cares. But she really waited til the last minute to give a half-hearted endorsement of Kamala, definitely screams die-hard supporter right there. I really wonder if the rumors of her being a 4channer and secretly conservative are true.
 
So mark my words. A civil war in the US is not only never coming to pass in any way that you imagine, but if one did come to pass it would be the death of this country and end badly for everyone involved.
The *best case* scenario for an American Civil War 2.0 would be akin to the Troubles in Ireland, where the central gov't still stayed in control but there were gangs of politispergs fighting each other, committing random acts of violence on civilians living in "enemy" areas, and trying to assassinate famous/notable people. Still shitty, but you could pretend there was a facade of normal life on top of the conflict.

The worst case scenario, as you say, would be a total gov't and societal breakdown with a Balkan/Yugoslavian type conflict.

I think people hoping for a 2nd civil war just want an excuse to kill anyone they deem guilty of wrongthink, and that goes for radicals on both the left and right. Even a "best case" Troubles-style conflict would still be a shitshow in a country where everyone has guns and is being egged on by internet retards. Again, as you said, people who actually want a civil war have little idea what that actually entails and how bad it could get.

that’s what we have now

yep. His best case is now, his worst case is nowhere near as bad as it could get. Like total depopulation of zones. We have about as much animosity, especially from the left, as civil war 1. But now with modern WMDs and civilians with much better weapons?

The good thing is that is a form of MAD which will likely keep it from going full mass extinction. Likely..

Don't be hyperbolic, random schizos failing to assassinate sitting presidents has happened lots of times, spics hiding from ICE and niggas shoplifting and trying to fight cops every time they get pulled over has been happening forever.

If summer 2020 never ended and we still had nationwide riots and groups of people actively going to residential neighborhoods looking for a fight, you would have a point. We are thankfully not there right now.

touch grass while wearing MAGA swag in a blue state and get back to me about that
 
Infrastructure failures in New York are flooding the city:
...
Six inches. In a few hours.
Couldn't 6" of rain in a few hours be considered very high rainfall for one rain? It doesn't sound like much when you say "six inches" sure, but that does sound high to me. I would expect that over the course of several weeks, not several hours.
 
>For my friends, chemical shit, for my enemies, even worse chemical shit

I would be afraid to associate with you.......
but we’re going to need the extra caffeine and sugar if we’re going to play Halo 2 multiplayer all night until 11 PM. it used to be until 3 AM a few decades ago, but, you know

Looks like NYC on average gets about 4 inches of rain in May, so they got over a month and a half's worth of rain in a few hours. Just about any city would have some level of flooding from such an event.
