The suspect was later found and shot dead by San Bernardino County sheriff’s deputies, officials said.

      I do really like Robert Evans, but this is something I wholeheartedly disagree with. Civil War 2: Electric Boogaloo could definitely happen, but I think it’s far more likely that we’ll see an American version of The Troubles. I don’t think there are enough people who would truly be willing to fight and die over this; but there’s plenty of people willing to commit terrorist bombings or acts of sabotage if they think they can get away with it.

        I think the most likely scenario is a dissolution limitation, similar to what happened with the soviet union.

          The Soviet Union didn’t collapse from political rhetoric and hurt feelings.

          And the morons with enough guns and ammo to fight a war are far too economically comfortable to want actually want one.

          If the shit really ever did hit the fan having a few chickens and a garden is going to get you a lot farther than a few thousand rounds.

      I haven’t listened to the podcast, so maybe I’m wrong… but isn’t the “it” in “it could happen here” referring to fascism, not a second civil war?

      Pretty important distinction imo

        You should probably look into the person behind it before you throw out your own worthless opinion that had no bar at all towards publication.

          Show me what I said that was opinion. Oh I am sorry, was that a strawman?

          I stated a fact. “The bar for starting a podcast is a 10 dollar headset.”
