Yeah, thanks. I didn't know the country was founded on armed revolution. And I guess that *I* need to inform *you* that the politics today is entirely different with entirely different demographics and economics.

What would happen would be closer to the US civil war, except that there would be no end once the federal government recaptures the rebel states (and lost revenue). It would keep going in perpetuity, because it would be ideological, as Sowell suggests. It would be similar to the religious wars in Europe in the 17th century, or the various ethnic/tribal/religious conflicts going on in much of the world today.

Does this sound unrealistic for the US? Sure it does, because a military coup is unrealistic.

Oh yeah, so the military is mostly Republican. But what is a Republican these days? How would the military solve, for example, the illegal immigration issue? The only way these issues would be resolved is a strong leader - a dictator.

A strong leader does not have to be a dictator. He could be the reverse of a dictator if he insists on a return to the Constitution. When we obey the Constitution we agree to disagree. That is, the states that want abortion, stem cell research and all the other leftist garbage will be free to do it without interference from the federal government. In other words, we will be a constitutional republic.
