It's heading that way, for sure. With each passing day, more powerful leftists call for harassment and violence against conservatives and the current administration. Comments from celebrities and politicians, such as Colbert's "bonesaw" remarks or Low IQ Maxine's "God is on our side" statements are proof of that.
What triggers civil war? Many specific things could cause it, such as genuine attempts to repeal the 2nd Amendment, but ultimately, it's when enough of the general public feels sufficiently threatened by the government's actions, realizing that there is simply no other recourse, given the fact that the government simply cannot do its job and protect its citizens. The longer all of this goes on, the more divided the left and right become; it's especially dangerous for the left because of the rhetoric and the increasing levels of violence, which pushes more fence-sitters and moderates firmly towards the right and simultaneously shrinks the left down as they grow more extreme.
The meme that the left eats itself? It's not a meme or a joke; it's very real, and it's happening more and more every day. Every time someone calls for harassment, every time someone prioritizes an illegal or criminal over a citizen, every time a piece of evidence comes out proving more and more that Hillary and the Democrats are beyond corrupt, it pushes more people out who question the ethics, legality, and validity of the attacks, eventually proselytizing more of those former leftists to the conservative side and showing them that yes, in fact, some conservatives are reasonable fucking people who just want to live their lives in peace.
All of that said, what is happening in America today is very simple. The people in power think they're better than everybody else. Hollyjew, Congress, major CEOs, banks, and above; they all think they're better than us, that we're simply uninformed, unenlightened back-woods hicks that don't know no better because we wanted to vote for a dangerous demagogue like Donald Trump. Conservatives, moderates, and even many liberals are quickly beginning to realize that the government is losing its ability to govern because the two sides are simply fighting without listening to the will of the people, determined to win at all costs.
'''The socio-political path America is treading down now cannot be stopped unless one side finally steps up to the table, lays their cards down, and agrees to negotiate for the betterment of the country and its people. When that happens, they lose all political clout, all bargaining chips, and all respect from their voter base.
That is it. That's all that can stop the storm that is coming. If Trump gets impeached, all he needs to do is fight it and people will be in the streets demanding blood. If the ultimate smoking gun is released to the public showing that the government is corrupt beyond reason, people will be in the streets with torches and pitchforks. If neither of those happens, and we simply continue with the stalemate we're at now, the left is going to get more and more violent until people die.
Now, we may not even get to civil war. It could very well lead to martial law and military tribunals after the national guard is tasked to dispatch of domestic political terrorists. Either way it goes, World War III is likely to happen shortly after, solely because everyone is so interconnected; if civil war happens and citizens resist the government, every country out there is going to want a piece of the pie, but if we go the route of martial law, then (((people))) will actively try to stop it with war. Europe is supposedly reconsidering their allied status with America given current events, so think on that a second.
