likelihood of violence or 'civil war', either outcome of the 2020 election

just curious what people's thoughts were
if Trump wins, what types of scenarios do people think could play out
if Biden wins, same question
civil war seems like a stretch to me, i trust our military to squash it whatever it is, thoughts?
edit, that sounds dark as hell lol, what i meant was i trust the military not to let the country slip into civil war, the people that actually want to go out and shoot people in this country is small, most want to live their lives without violence in theirs or anyones neighborhood

I'd say chance of violence is basically 100%
but chance of a civil war, 0%

I think there is a fairly large chance of civil war... Like > 75%... Trump loses, he says it was rigged, and his psycho racist and conspiracy theorist supporters will be coming out of the woodwork with weaponry...
If Trump was to defy the odds and win again, we're talking nationwide "Not my president" rallies, rioting, looting and counter protest. No matter what, civil war is definitely possible.

Define civil war.
We won't have an 1860s style civil war. There aren't any clear Mason Dixon lines.
What I see happening is routine and consistent random violence carried out by Vanilla ISIS.
This is simply because that's what modern war looks like, though. We aren't going to have armies gather in formation anymore, but we will have some random nuts bombing buildings and shooting up neighborhoods.

Actually, I'm pretty sure the Mason-Dixon line is still there... Not that we'll be fight along those lines, but the actual stone mile-marker things are still there.

President McDonald might get drug out kicking and screaming, but there won't be a civil war. What would the war even be? Democrats versus Republicans, drawn across what lines? Old white people with guns versus all the apathetic? It's silly to even entertain.

Trump supporters are too lazy to protest much of anything. If you're a defender of the current system, there's really nothing to protest. Trump supporters love their oppressors.

We’d have more heart attacks than COVID cases if Trump supporters tried to revolt.

I’m not sure watching Fox News counts as a revolt though. Voting for Trump was anything but a revolt.

Actually, the racist white supremacists want a full-on race war against minorities and liberals... The Oklahoma city bombing was committed by one of these..

There's not enough of these white supremacists to do much of anything and most of them are too lazy to protest or engage in violent actions.
When Trump loses the election there's rumor he's going to start a Trump TV Network and all of his stupid followers will have a new outlet for their political issues.
