People are torqued up, people are willing to kill one another (I mean they already have), but no one wants to die for anything in America. Or suffer dysentery. If you're a chud, is it really worth giving up the lifted truck for slumming it in the woods and getting some weird disease like legionairres foot? So you can, what, shoot a black person or a queer person??
I don't think they could survive contact with military curfew where they can't just go to the city hall and complain and push a few people around like they did for mask mandates. I don't think any of these people have really thought through what a civil war or even just some heightened low grade warfare tensions (like The Troubles) would mean.
