  • Some parents are just bigots. Some are brainwashed by religion. Some are just afraid and/or angry about anything they don't understand. If a kid isn't telling their parents, there is probably a VERY good reason. Kids get beaten. Kids get kicked out of their homes. Kids get sent to conversion camps. Parents can be just as terrible as anyone else.

  • You're vastly overestimating the US military's ability to deal with an insurgency. Did we quickly "win" in Iraq? Did we quickly "win" in Afghanistan? There may be some quick quelling of fighting, but we've proven to be terrible at managing insurgencies.

    And there's the matter of just how many guns are present in the US. We have more guns than people. Over 400 million guns and growing. There are times where a lone gunman in Afghanistan was able to occupy an outpost for hours just by taking a few shots, moving position, taking a couple more shots, and then leaving.

    Any civil war will be long, messy, and involve a LOT of different factions.

  • I wouldn't be so sure about humanity surviving. It all depends on how many tipping points we hit and how bad warming actually gets. There's no way we stop at 3°. Existence for any humans will be incredibly fraught.

  • The ones holding up the process aren't really siding with Democrats, they're just against theit own party's nominees for various reasons. It's an important distinction.

    It may not be your intention, but this comment feels like it's blaming Democrats for not going along when Republicans have the majority and keep failing to put someone up that they can all agree on. Several Republicans have been pushing the narrative that Democrats are to blame for their own party's disfunction.
