The other day I had a similar concern...estimated about 8 million people would die out of the total population.
It is horrible we are actually considering such a reality, but we all feel it is coming. And will arrive much sooner than we realize.
Civil war looks exactly like it looks right now, folks. Riots, or more properly purposeful and planned military operations, disguised as protests, political killings disguised as murders, government arrests of people who defend themselves from democrat paramilitary forces, lack of government prosecution of ‘friendly paramilitary, democrat forces’, endless information warfare from all directions and from all types of people telling you constant lies and misinformation, states, counties and cities creating thousands of ‘laws’ meant to only target the enemies of the party in power in that locality (i.e. Lawfare) and I am sure I could come up with a hundred more details.
We are in a civil war now, folks and this is what it looks like.

It will not be the hot war tgat wins the day Conservatives have all the weapons and training (”a fun day at the range” is not a phrase you will hear in a liberal household).
But when the libs take refuge into the hearts of the city centers, they will soon starve as they do not know how to raise food.
The problems will be in the suburbs where Conservatives will probably end up in enclaves.
Watched an interview with an ex-marine recently. He basically said that people like him wouldn’t be in the initial fighting, they’d wait for the first wave, then get involved. Anyone actively shooting at that point would be put down, because they would still be defending the country - not choosing sides.
I tend to think he’s right. I also tend to think I’ll be defending me and mine before I’m assaulting an urban center.
The ending of the article was correct though. No matter how you slice it, war is hell. Everyone would lose.

Now I wonder who that might be?;-)

If the United States descends into a hot Civil War, the whole world will burn. And it will deserve to.
Martial law would be declared and the country would be wrapped up quickly before any of that came to fruition. Regulated traffic on highways, rioters shot on sight, etc.

a.k.a. "the food supply."
My my how we love to skip over the secession part.
Hell, even the mujaheddin had a sophisticated command and control structure and a weapons training facility.
I believe it would boil down to who controls the federal military. Drilling down, IF the President has control of the federal military, he/she will determine who wins a civil war. If there has been a coup, then the coup leader(s) or generals independent of any other control - will determine who wins the civil war.
Keep prepping time.
It would be a war between democrat controlled City States and the rest of the country.
It would take time for the patriots to gather and fight because the secessionists are localized in urban areas. But once patriots assemble, the clocks of the leftist a$$hats would be totally cleaned.
42 million dead Americans.
Like watching a remake of the Titanic, youve seen this movie before in Yugoslavia, Zimbabwe, Somalia, and other countries. The boat sinks.
Other nations will sit this one out. “Mom” and “Dad” are fighting and the “kids” are hiding under their beds in their rooms waiting to see which side might win.
Divisions along racial, tribal, and family lines. The settling of old scores leaves grievous wounds that wont heal for generations. Most of the destruction in urban areas with cities becoming significantly depopulated. Those individuals who are notable will find that their prominence and fame ensures their and their families continuous targeting and certain death.
The upside is that the Left becomes extinct
The issue as it stands
Liberals have the will to wipe out Conservatives but they lack the means
Conservatives have the means to wipe Liberals off the face of the earth, but they lack and (unfortunately will continue to lack) the will.
It comes down to what happens when the power goes off,
1) Do Liberals riot and burn their own cities down and then turn on each other
2) When the violence pours into the burbs & rural areas Do Conservative finally get off their @$$es and do something
#1 and #2 need to happen or Liberals will win
We are already in civil war and it’s going to get worse after the election.
