    Historically it’s leaders like presidents, governors, legislative bodies, and generals. Not forum posts.

      Historically

      You mean the only other civil war in US history, in the 19th century? Are you actually suggesting that the lack of “forum posts” means anything at all?

      Welcome to the 21st century. The world is different than last time.

        I guess if you make the 134 million guns owners in America enraged and frightened for their life by providing concrete examples of killing them you can make sure it’s a civil war.

            I’m assuming you’re being kind of sarcastic, tongue-in-cheek as it were. If anyone takes it seriously though: if the people you oppose are so incompetent they pose no threat, then why do you need to beat/murder them in the 1st place? If you look up “enemy is both weak and strong”, saying that is actually a defining characteristic of fascism (and I assume other authoritarian ideologies).
