It would cause disorganized resistance and economic breakdown, but not civil war, tbh.



>disorganized resistance and economic breakdown

Even worse, imagine all the thing we have to do to get back to our baseline economy. A civil war would be very quick


Well I'm just talking a few Waco Texas, nothing too apocalyptic on the insurrectionary front. If the government learned how to stimulate the economy for real, and starting doing some all the deferred infrastructure work, I'm sure it could lift us out of the economic woes the quarantine created. It would would just take some time to figure it out, the US governments are all brawn no brains right now, but things ran decently well in WWII so we'd get there after a while.

I'm not saying this is good, I'm saying if you don't like a huge state intervention, don't pat yourself on the back saying it would go miserably enough to make the government change its mind.
