What would it take for the beginning of a civil war? (lemmy.ca)

Listen, I know wars are horribly bad. I'm really sorry even asking such a question.

I'm Canadian. It seems that the fascists are set on military action against Greenland. I'm highly afraid that we're next. So I'm hoping the following happens in order:

  1. No wars. Somehow, legally the fascist executive is stopped. This unfortunately seems unlikely...
  2. They get bogged down in a war elsewhere. This prevents them from coming after Canada. I know this is me being extremely selfish, but whatever.
  3. A civil war begins. No one has to worry about being invaded.

So my question is related to the third possibility. What could start a civil war? Could an invasion of Greenland and the following economic collapse (hopefully caused by the EU dropping US treasuries) be the spark?

Once life in the USA becomes uncomfortable for the majority of people (ie little to no access to food, water, electricity) thats when open war will start in the streets. Until then, there will just continue to be highly motivated agitators that pop up here and there, like assassination attempts and the like. They'll become more and more common until the tipping point is reached, when the elite decide its time to completely withdraw from the rest of the country and take the food/water and electricity with them. If the USA doesn't have elections in 2028, then id bet that the situation will be ripe for it by 2030
