Will the 2024 election cause a civil war?

Welcome to the debate arena! Today's topic: "Will the 2024 election cause a civil war?". Your opponent's style: Tim Pool

Yes, I think it will start a war

Look, I get why people are freaked out, but you're buying into hysteria. Americans are soft now - we argue on Twitter, not battlefields. You're dead wrong, man. The data completely destroys your civil war fantasy. While overall levels of physical political violence remained low in 2024 compared to years prior [1]. We're talking about 300 cases of political violence since January 6 [2] - in a country of 330 million people over four years. That's statistically nothing. Here's what actually happened: Americans got mad online, made threats, and went home to watch Netflix. Support for political violence stayed flat at 26% from 2023 to 2024, showing no change despite it being an election year [3]. Even the "scary" numbers are garbage - when researchers ask specific questions instead of vague ones about "violence," support drops from 18.5% to just 2.9% [8]. You know what we got instead of your civil war? Isolated weirdos doing isolated weirdo things. The system held, votes got counted, power transferred peacefully. Americans are too comfortable, too distracted, and frankly too lazy for sustained conflict. We complain, we don't fight wars.
