    Biden and Trump are both rich. No rich person wants a civil war, that would get most rich people killed.

      No rich person actually has to fight in any war, that’s the job of those dirty poors. And every gun/round sold is extra money to the (rich) people who made investments into the MIC and media propaganda machine.

        The US is not nicely divided between North and South like it was in the 1860s. A civil war now would look more like The Troubles + mass shootings, than it would Gettysburg-esque battlefields. Political assassinations would be happening constantly. Mobs torching neighborhoods of their political opponents.

        It would be very difficult to be insulated from that, short of fleeing the US (which I’m sure many rich people would).
