Not sure if you're serious but...

There's almost no chance of a civil war following the election no matter the outcome.

If Harris loses, she'll concede.
If Trump loses, he'll woman and moan and attempt to incite violence - but that's going nowhere fast as he has no control over government at that point. Probably some nutjob or three will do something really stupid, but there's virtually no chance of a civil war.

Reckon we'll see loads of Trump "supporters" distance themselves from him if he doesn't win.

He'll still have loads of loyalists who will do anything he asks. But the numbers of people with the influence to cause havoc will be significantly reduced if he does lose.

Tend to agree with this. Jan6th 2021 Trump was in the whitehouse. He could have just stayed in there and have his mob surround the building and then just appoint a load of nut jobs to the head of the doj and military in his final days.

This time round he is the outsider, but control of congress is a big issue. What happens if congress refuses to certify Harris. The chain of events that leads to Harris being sworn in could easily break. But Biden is in office with full immunity. He could order the public beheading of Trump, seems fair.

It depends what you term as civil war. Everybody that Trump deems an enemy now needs strong security. The range is wide from election clerks to jurors. There is an army of people ready to attack the enemy within, who will be completely enraged when Harris wins. Remember Pelosi’s husband. It will be guerilla warfare.

Disagree.

Lone wolf nutjobs may take action or try to. But such are - I'd guess - on the order of 1-in-100-million or so in a 6 month or longer timeframe... so maybe 3 or 4 idiots... sure, maybe, but that seems high. Not a civil war.

As for an organized rebellion - maybe something similar to the Gretchen Whitmer kidnapping plot might happen. Again, not a civil war.

As for something on the order of 1/6 or larger - I don't see any chance of that whatsoever.

I hope you’re right, but there is no accounting for Trump’s madness or the delusion of QAnon etc. One word from Shitzinpants can kick it off.
