I predict that 2024 will be the year that the S finally HTF.
For the US, it will probably be a neck and neck race between an internal Civil War or an external Major International War as to which one happens first.
And the general reaction will be a disbelieving "Huh? Wha'?" As if people can't see what's happening right before their eyes.
It’s hard to disagree with your first scenario as I keep seeing Trumps court cases, plural, line up closer and closer to the election.
It's less "civil war" and more "insurrection". In the sense that I don't see Californians, or indeed most Floridians, suddenly taking up arms and joining a militia.
It's more likely to play out as Jan 6 did, a riled up mob that turns violent and is squashed.
It becomes more of a police action than a civil war, and frankly, despite all the guns collected by the faithful, its not a fair fight.
Indeed the sides are so unbalanced, outside of a few skirmishes here and there, it's not a "civil war" like the last one.
As someone who spends time in Eastern and rural California, I can totally see 'em taking up arms! A lot of Californians are already in militias. There are plenty of roiling pockets elsewhere outside these red counties, too. Don't get too comfortable with assumptions about "blue" states.

I thought it'll be "the second civil war", then turn into the Eugenics Wars, and then finally WW3 with 40% of Earth's population killed. Luckily, we Terrans haven't figured out how to make a warp bomb.
