Do you see the possibility of another civil war? (lemmy.world)

I think that it will not be waged between North and South for state rights, but rather between Republicans and Democrats for human rights. It will happen before our 250th anniversary in 2026.

I definitely do get the feeling Liberal/Left Americans (inb4 "liberals arent leftists!!!," true but the particular issues I'm referencing are things liberals and leftists mostly agree on) and Conservative Americans have different, incompatible, moral systems where a compromise can't be reached.

I think it's possible but not probable. It's not like we're already seeing widespread squabbles or serious secession talk (ultimately I don't think the war would be fought on state lines but I do think secession talk would start happening before war breaks out.) Then again something like Trump getting put behind bars could change everything.
