Kurt Schlichter wrote a series of novels about the next civil war. I think you’d like them if you haven’t read them already. He doesn’t think much of the north’s military capability.

Democrats were the slave owners. Democrats ran the Jim Crow South. Democrats want illegals for their cheap labor which is what they used slaves for...

So yeah our battle with democrats has been going on for a long time.

George Wallace who stood in the school house door to keep black children from going to a ‘white’ school was a democrat.

Bull Conner who used fire hoses on civil rights workers was a democrat.

All the racists office holder during Jim Crow were democrats..

And dmeocrat use many of the same tactics they used against blacks on us - the people they consider ‘deplorable’. Yeah, it’s been going on a long time.

And by Pearl Harbor, we’d already been ramping up for war for almost two years. Conscription was already in place, and our factories had been cranking out tanks, ships and planes for Britain and the Soviet Union.

Yep, by 1939 Hap Arnold had already formed an agreement with the eight largest civilian flight instruction companies in the country to heavily ramp up training, with support from the military. A year later, 50+ primary flight training fields had been created or modified to meet military training needs around the U.S.
Actual training - as Arnold had envisioned - was under way one year before the attack on Pearl Harbor.

I hope and pray it never happens to this wonderful country and its people. Would never advocate it in the slightest and there is no need for it. Speculating that if it did happen, however, it would be rural versus urban and the rural areas control the food supply, trucking into the cities, can stop trains in remote areas, and control the electrical grid. The average city store has about three days’ supply of food and that is in normal times. People can adjust to no heat or light; its much more difficult to adapt to no food.

Agreed.

However, I see it also turning very racial.

Considering the demographics of the cities, or what the demographics are turning into, the urbanites will be relatively easy to identify from a distance.

That's going to be rough on those who look like that demographic but aren't urbanites or leftists.

Everybody in the know knew the US getting in the war was inevitable once France fell, and the Japs were smelling blood in the water to take those colonies from the Brits, French and Dutch.

We already are in one.

It’s cold. At the moment.

It’s ideological now, but it is feasible it turns hot.

That will not stop roving bands of urbanites from creating anarchy as they come out of their crapholes looking for goods and to destroy anything we have just for the heck of it.

I think you’re right.

I never thought I’d live to see the day when America deteriorated to its present state.

Reading *One Second After* is very enlightening.

Whether you agree with the EMP part or not, the picture he paints of societal breakdown is very realistic and sobering.

My relatively upscale neighborhood is full of Indians, which side will they be on?

My guess is they won't take too kindly to being robbed and assaulted.

One doesn't usually see them making the news for the kinds of crimes and mayhem other demographics are known for.

According to astrologers that is the day when the stars and planets are in almost exactly the same positions as the day Ft. Sumter was fired upon.

I remember talking to a guy near or at retirement age back in 1994 who worked at a particular gun range who told me there would be another civil war in the US. I didn’t know what to say, but I never forgot it.

I talked with a guy not too long ago on Facebook who realized back in 1982 that America would face another civil.

Since the 1990s the divide has gotten wider and wider over time. Around 2016 I learned about what astrologers knew about the planets and stars and Ft. Sumter. In the same year Hollyweird put out a movie called....wait for it...wait for it...”Captain America: Civil War.” I just had to laugh.

Hollyweird recently put out a new movie on 12APR2024 by the title of, “Civil War.” It’s about a civil war that has erupted between the United States government and various regional factions.

I think we will see history repeat itself somehow where we will have a sitting Republican prez and it will be Dems who will fire first just like they did at Ft. Sumter.

That would be criminal behavior and each state or region would have their own laws to deal with that kind of criminality. That behavior exists now and will exist even after a civil war, whether a violent or peaceful one.

Anarchy does not solve or lead to a settlement of civil strife/disagreements, and in fact, makes things worse, but that's still criminal behavior that can be dealt with through the laws in place and by law=enforcement.
