Yeah, I think they can if a situation triggers. It would have to take something big to do it, but they would get out there and start firing away.

Of course, in any Civil War it would come down to can the government control things quickly enough or bottle it up to keep it from free-falling. Don't think they would be ready for such a thing because they are too busy going after Trump. Most won't do anything though. Americans are pretty laid back and would not do anything stupid. That is one thing that favors the left. I think obesity is pretty bad in Eastern Europe, especially in Belarus. I don't know how that is relevant to our situation and how a Civil War here would be like the one being fought in the Ukraine. Its more likely it becomes a brawl where security forces take different sides and the government loses complete control and it becomes a battle of whether the far-left or far-right takes over power. Its that simple.

In this case the far-left has the numbers/agitators/probably a pretty significant arsenal, but certainly if they were to take Washington they would not have a way to run things and I think the far-right has better strategic numbers and knows how to utilize the military concept of tactical force to an ends that serves a greater purpose. It would be like dealing with a very difficult situation, where one is swamped. I think it would be a quick fight too, because usually when you have two forces like this in a tight corner one of them ends up squeezing out of the circle and getting the other to submit. It would be like a primetime fight with one trying to corner the other and then getting them to submit and I think the far-left would hold the advantage, which is where the fat middle aged guys with their boats and their semi-automatics come to hand in spreading out forces and trying to overwhelm the enemy.

You would also be surprised how many policeman and even military personnel would join the far-left. Most people who claim to be on the right of the right in this country are really leftist sympathizers.
