I fear Mr. Schlicter is far too sanguine. Just look at how NY, NJ, CT, CA and many others are incrementally pushing their citizens around. 7-10 round magazine capacity? Give me a fricken break! No “assault weapons”? Where’s that rebellious spirit and push back? Apparently the majority eats it up. It’s here and they’ve got it. Check and mate.
In a Dem insurgency, all Trump would need to accomplish is cut off federal funds. As soon as the EBT cards stop working, the Dem areas would burn.
“”we just heard our liberal opponents explaining why a cop shouldn’t be expected to go fight a scumbag murdering kids because it’s scary””
Pretty much what Panetta said (one of the things he said) about not sending help to Benghazi - TOO RISKY!
The current political situation encourages a lot of wild talk, but keeps our rulers from changing things as much as they would like.
If there is a Second Civil War it will be because some extremist group (or some group that can easily be portrayed as extremist) seizes power somewhere.
If they are extreme enough to take up arms against the rest of the country, they will probably be too extreme to attract much support, and the rebellion will fizzle out.
Of course, the other possibility is total chaos -- the war of each against all. Armed bands in the streets fighting against each other for survival without overall coordination.
Either way, it's not going to be one half the country fighting the other half over ideology or policy.
PS I heard Kurt on the radio. He needs to cut back his meds (or increase them -- I'm not sure). A little too manic.
Kurt does great snark, but I really have to compliment him on this analysis. It’s first rate.
