Second American Civil War

Not to be confused with American Revolutionary War.
The January 6 United States Capitol attack has been largely called a coup d'état, and a turning point in United States political violence.[1]

The Second American Civil War, is a hypothetical inter-United States conflict that gained traction and nationwide media attention in the early 2020s.[2] A poll conducted in June 2024 by Rasmussen Reports showed that of 1,000 surveyed voters, 31% stated that a "civil war is likely within the next year".[3][4][5][6] It was largely speculated that a civil war between Republican-aligned voters and Democrat-aligned voters may have broke out if Donald Trump lost the presidential election,[7] and speculations about a possible civil war remain after the election.[8][9][10]

Several [opinion poll]]s and studies have been carried out on the topic of a potential civil war, many of which focus on political influences contributing to a future conflict. A monitor poll conducted by the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights of 1,000 voters showed that 73% of those asked stated that political violence is a large concern, and 52% of the respondents states that they were worried about white nationalism arising after the election.[11] An October 2024 poll conducted by The Times of 1,266 registered voters showed that 27% of them were highly concerned about political violence, and that 87% of surveyed voters stated that the United States was more politically divided than it was 10 years prior.[12]
