Civil War II can’t happen. How will you know who the enemy is? It wouldn’t be so simple as to hand out blue and gray uniforms.
Now, anarchy is very likely.

You’ve got a lot of nerve posting something sensible on a Civil War II thread.
Just kidding. Of course you’re right. Any group who tried to put on the gray today would eventually get a visit from the 82nd Airborne. But a hundred years from now...who knows?
People talk a lot about the civil war but always seem to forget the period leading up to it. Do a little reading on the 1850’s. For example, 1855 Kansas/Missouri. It took several years and quite a lot of real violence leading up to Lincoln’s election before uniformed armed forces clashed. It was far, far worse than anything we have seen so far this century.
Exactly. This won’t be CWII. People need to think more along the lines of versions of the Yugoslav wars- a blend of ethnic, political and general anarchy. The catalyst will be some sort of financial collapse. If there isn’t that, there will just be a slow smoldering. If we have that, we will spiral quickly. Both fundamental sides (the right wing and left wing) will seize the opportunity of the crisis and take advantage of it to rebuild the country into what it wants.

Read up on the Spanish Civil War which preceded WWII.
The anarchists played a large role back then. They seem capable of doing it now and in the future.
