I'm still not convinced it can happen. There has always been maniacs down there threatening the end of times or whatever. I guess we'll wait and see for now, but I'm not holding my breath.
Is it bad that I'm hoping this happens though? The US is so messed up that only a hard reset so to speak will fix it.

When predicting another civil war one thing many don't take into account when brushing it aside is that the western world is very likely headed for massive unemployment in the coming decades.
Not recession level unemployment that eventually comes back, like "Hey, the bottom just fell out of employment in America/Canada because of automation".
Millions of unemployed young men will change the formula for predicting civil war, ten fold. And yes, of course it will take on a different form this time. But there will be almost assuredly be major unrest and deadly fighting in the US in the next few decades.
