Are we on the verge of a civil war?

I'm sure a lot of military folks would like to turn on their employer and oath to install Trump, but thinking about it and doing it are two different things.  Trump doesn't even pay his lawyers, so being sure that people with families to support would willingly renounce their allegiance to the USA in hopes that team Trump will win and then they'll be compensated for switching sides, so to speak, isn't a certainty, either.

I mean, if it's just a left vs right war then yea, a lot of men in the army would be mowing down unarmed women.  I'm sure Jesus will be on his way soon after we do this.
