Unlike 1860, the are not two sides in conflict clearly defined by state lines and culture. Instead, there is a general disillusionment concerning many things. The sides in conflict are not two, but many. A civil war now would begin more like the disorganized and chaiotic start the Russian Revolution, than the organized attack on Ft. Sumpter.
BS. What do you think will the states and their governors just dissolve themselves for you? What crock.
My idea: The Liberals lose the election, use deep state and FBI/CIA to take over and pull the president from the white house. Purged Congress and the Media support the new appointed President Elizabeth Warren as a “restored” Government. Some states do not follow this line (in the South and west) and form a newly restored Government in Texas. They elect Donald Trump Jr. President of the CSA (as a new yorker he will be seen as a unifying symbol) Then the war starts in earnest with fighting in California, Maryland, and Colorado. Canada will back the Union, Russia the CSA and this could spin into a general war. Loss of life 7 million.
