Hillary’s Hipster Army Prepares For The Second Civil War

Much of the US air force would go over to the Free States and much of the aviation industry is in the south and midwest. The bigger problem for the free States is not air superiority, I think that is draw, the South/Mid Free States will have trouble getting up to speed with armor. The North does have the edgy as all tanks are now made in Ohio.

In a civil war scenario, Ohio and Pennsylvania would certainly be an important battleground. Liberals, minorities, and union members are concentrated in the larger cities. The rural areas and small towns tend to be 2:1 Republican, conservative, and Christian. The situation there would be analogous to the American situation in South Viet Nam between 1965 and 1973. The major cities were under American/RVN control; the countryside was mostly Viet Cong/NVA controlled.

A future civil war would be more like the Spanish Civil War of the 1930s rather than our own War between the States. Even in the reddest of areas, like the Bay Area and the Northeast megalopolis, there are many conservative sympathizers who would in effect be a "fifth column" for the secessionists. Likewise, there are college towns, large cities, and minority controlled areas, like the Mississippi Delta and South Texas, in the secessionist states, which would be sympathetic to the Washington regime. During the 1861-65 periods, the rival governments used harsh measures to suppress dissent: the North imprisoned numerous Copperheads and censored antiwar newspapers; secession supporters in the South lynched Unionists, especially in Texas. Both sides used the draft to fill the ranks of the military.

You might have a peaceful parting of the ways, as happened with Czechoslovakia. The worst of scenarios would entail extreme bloodshed, with, for the first time in over 200 years, America being open to foreign intervention. It is not impossible to imagine the Russians and the Chinese supporting the secessionists and the Europeans and the Japanese supporting the Washington regime.

The anger that Americans are feeling now is like gunpowder scattered around a HUGE keg. The situation is dangerous and getting worse.

This must be how the Minutemen felt in 1775, training and drilling against a day all hoped would never come. Then that lone rider came through in the middle of the night.

Aaaannnnd... infiltrators and partisans will have no qualms about locating and taking out hipster drone operators and their bosses. They are still the weak link in the whole thing. Not advocating, just observing how these things generally turn out.

[webheart]

Drones don’t fix themselves or launch themselves. They don’t put their own bombs on. They run on petroleum-based fuels. The operators are only good once the drone is in the air. Before that, they need the rest of the military. Also, the nukes are located in the states the Liberals have termed Red States.

“Unrealistic” is a generous assessment. This entire thing reads like a rightwing pulp-fiction novel like the Wingman or Ashes series minus the post-apocalyptic setting. Just for one easy flaw I see no mention of loyalist batteries knocking out the power, water, and major roadways to a ‘rebel’ city with a comparatively small number of shells or missiles in a matter of days if not hours.

The realization that an entire city is now incapable of supporting a significant populace, will have to be evacuated en masse in the midst of civil disorder (meaning significant civvie casualties most likely) and will take years if not decades to bring back services will definitely make a lot of Yankee Doodle Dimbulb warriors think very hard about things.
