The advantage would go to the side willing to look their neighbor, fellow parishioner, PTA member, mailman in the eye and kill them.
Like the last one, this would be up close and personal.

Easy 100 million to 150 million dead.

infrastructure in shambles.

Country broken up into smaller countries.

Diseases and ferals running wild

That sounds like what's coming after the Leftists "win" the next couple elections.

The Haganah comes to mind.

No matter how you look at it, the progessives/left wing crazies are going to get clobbered in a civil war. It won't even be close.

You think the vast majority of democrat welfare bums can shoot a gun? Even if you gave them a year of training they would still not be able to hit the side of a barn. Most of them have an IQ of less than 80.

I am talking about all the rat ferals in the inner cities. In a civil war scenario they would die of starvation in the first month. Think of how they acted during the aftermath of hurricane Katrina in New Orleans. Multiply that chaos by a factor of one hundred million.

There are about 30 AC-130s in service. They mostly only come out at night and are very vulnerable when on the ground. Plan for success not failure.

“Our side has 8 trillion bullets; the other side doesn’t know which bathroom to use.“

But they know how to commit violence.

Look at the rallies and protests. It's the Left who are out there breaking and burning things, beating people up.

Having more guns than they do doesn't matter if they're the only ones willing to use them.

I think parts will be true except the LEFT will institute a prison-state.

With one key difference. Then arms were in short supply and gunpowder very scarce. Where I live in WV, if you have less than 10 firearms and one or two thousand rounds of ammo you are hurting or henpecked.

Would not fight the people. Would target media, hollywood leftists and Democrat leaders.

different kinds of war. They would not get near us, they would send in their rocketry and drones.

The police would be their on the ground forces.

This war would only be won by targeted assassinations of their leaders. The Swiss Method.

If the US land forces are on the side of the President, he will win.

Yes.

If they are on the side of a hostile Congress and judiciary, he will lose.

Not necessarily. The far left, gun hating progressives need the US land forces to be on their side far more than gun loving, gun owning conservatives do.

Fort McNair is in Virginia?

When did that happen?

Hint: Maybe you mean Fort Myer?

I meant the basic mindset, and general lay of the land of locals vs outsiders. Sheesh...

They have no ability to stand off within our borders. Their air bases are right in cities. Their families are scattered. The tech support and production facilities for their weapons are right across town.
All of that cannot be protected.

It depends how clustered together they are.

I think that is oversimplification

Why go to a war that kills up to half the population and decimates the country when you can use the V for Vendetta plan?

Or, on the road back to Concord from Lexington, through Valley Forge, all the way to Yorktown

The King's forces lacked A-10 Warthogs.
