I think that every single day: this is going to get way worse, long before it gets better.

I've never been a Prepper, but I'm getting some stuff in order. There may be a Civil War ahead, and there may be some fighting, so right now I'm concentrating on losing weight, and getting in shape. I'm also starting to get some self-defense gear together.

I've decided that dying an old man in my bed would be a waste, and my life may have a twist ending I hadn't anticipated. If it all goes sideways, I intend to get my licks in before going out.

I’m getting in shape too. Recently got a manual labor job to speed up the process. If Civil War happens, I’ll at least be strong and fast enough to kill some fascist scum.

If a major civil disruption were to happen in the US, we simply do not have clear ideological or geopolitical lines that are defined enough to create two different sides. How do you know you're fighting fascists and not just some dumb father of four who literally thinks ISIS-funded Antifa-members are coming to kill his kids. Do we really want that kind of endless murder like we've seen in the middle East? we should be thinking about every possible way to avoid that, because there's no ending for that scenario.

You're going to see many, many years of escalating, isolated violence and "insurgence lite" type events long before we get to an actual "civil war" and we would need actual opposing armies, and right now the military is loyal to the US and the constitution, which means office of the president, etc.

We are going to be served a lot better in the next several decades with people exercising community and political involvement, we can still turn this boat around but if everyone defaults to some dumb Tim Pool narrative that there's going to be "civil war" people are not going to want to do the logical and reasonable thing.
