People keep saying this and I personally don't really believe it, I think there could be a couple riots, but not like a full on civil war. What does everyone think?

Our culture phrases damn near everything in metaphors of war. The war on drugs. The battle of the bands. Bob lost his battle with cancer. It's absolutely pervasive, to the point it's almost as invisible as the air.

You do have a point, though in terms of common everyday language, that's a bit disappointing.
