One thing I'd like to see Charlie is brining in someone with real expertise to discuss what Civil War 2.0 would look like. I simply can't imagine a scenario where a legitimate Civil War breaks out. For a war to happen, you have to have two sides that are capable of sustaining a conflict with each other over a meaningful period of time and to take an hold territory.

Most of the people on social media who are saber rattling seem to expect some kind of domestic insurgency where pockets of right wing militias incite violence. I don't see this as a war as much as a series of domestic terrorism events where law enforcement turns up and deals with the situation.

In order to have a real shooting war, MAGA would have to field a fighting force capable going toe to toe with the US Armed Forces. How does that happen?

1. The Armed forces fracture into two groups - Loyalists and Extremists.

2. The governors of Red states declare independence and draft a military force.

3. Some 3rd party (China? Russia?) intervenes to provide MAGA with the resources & manpower to fight.

So I just don't see any of these scenarios being realistic either alone or in combination. Are there really millions of people in the US who are willing to leave the security of their family, jobs and communities behind to go to war against the US military? Does anyone think that Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley, when push comes to shove, are going to resign from Congress and have the spine to put their lives on the line by joining a rebel army / government?

It would be really enlightening to get someone with military experience to talk about what the actual threat level is for a civil war. Just because some guy on Twitter says "Tomorrow is War, Sleep Well." doesn't mean that guy is actually picking up a gun and risking his life.
