People keep saying this and I personally don’t really believe it, I think there could be a couple riots, but not like a full on civil war. What does everyone think?

Something I talked about earlier in political discussions was that the Usa has a problem of neighborhoods not being as social as they used to be.
Fewer bars, ymca, gatherings. Neighbors stay inside more. Children do not play in the street so much. Very few adults walk in the streets ( compared to Europe). Religious attendance is down .
That makes grassroots and revolutionary fever hard except on the internet. And the internet is showing it sort of sucks doing that, getting people outdoors, regardless of their creed, religious or political beliefs.
All that show up are usually elites , and some people in cities.
If you look at any modern revolution, there are healthy neighborhood dynamics driving it allowing a parallel bottom up growth
In the USA, People will probably have heated comments on social media, except in some small areas of cities, with only a few casualties
It’s crazy how literally every problem in the US is, at its root, a zoning problem.
I agree that zoning can really improve things.
Which can be helped by changes in local government. But today there is little involvement in city and town government.
Probably this lack of participation is because most people of the USA moved and changed careers multiple times in the last two generations. A greater percentage did this than in the first Industrial Revolution.
And it happened while changes in family structures and long distance communication changed. A perfect recipe for lack of civic involvement .
