    A second civil war?

    Involving who? The Overton ratchet has been clicking for so long, Liberals and the Democratic establishment have more in common with Trump than leftists.

    And there aren’t enough leftists in the US to even incite terrorism let alone occupy a city.

      Where is most of big tech run out of? CA.

      Have you ever well and truly pissed off IT, such that they make it their mission in life to fuck you over?

      Now, think about the vast majority of engineers in the state of CA (and probably MA and WA too) being absolutely ripshit livid at fascist theocrats trying to take over.

      Do not underestimate the effect that several hundred thousand skilled and highly intelligent engineers can have when properly motivated.
