The south is armed and the north is unarmed, case closed!!!

I wish these people wouldn't talk about details of a CW. It might finally occur to the leftists that they had better get armed. DON'T tell them! Some of them already realize this.

My friend works for a municipality in a large blue state as a trades person. He is required to attend many, what I call, propaganda classes that protect the agency from law suits, racial and gender bias, sexual harrassement, LGBQ-LMNOP re brain washing or transgender bathroom rules and regulations. This time it was preparedness and the instructor asked the class of a diverse ethnic mix “do we all have our go bags ready”? WELL AS YOU MAY HAVE EXPECTED there were a plethora of large question marks over these heads. FUNNY! no clue

As bad as things are in this country,I wouldn’t want to live in any of those scenarios pictured in the piece. As long as you have rational, faithful people in the country, things will work out. There was a prepper that lived in our area that got very active and tried to get other people to join his “ militia”. He died last year and his daughter had to get rid of his shipping container full of supplies. You can’t take it with you.

It is very hard to see how something like this could play out...I see it more as urban vs rural with roving bands.

The geographical splits just don’t make any sense.

Lefties always think that either the NG or active duty soldiers will do their bidding and attack freedom loving Americans.

Who do you think will be a majority of these militias?

******

I see it starting in the streets of the South. Then the National Guard gets sent in, then local militias build to fight the National Guard...

If actual Civil War came, as opposed to the feds confiscating guns, it would play out in the large cities. The leftists and welfare riff raff in the cities would kill each other and would soon be begging for conservative America, those counties that voted for Trump, to save them. When the libs can’t produce for the riff raff what they’ve promised them in exchange for their votes that’s when the real action begins.

With over 300 million guns in the hands of “We The People” and trillions of rounds of ammo we are a strong silent majority. Most Veterans are trained in use of guns, tactics and gorilla warfare. The Military is backing Trump. The demonicrats are trained in lies and self deception.

Just a followup—in the modern era we are used to relatively short and decisive wars.

What if Civil War II was a hundred year (multi generational) war like they used to have in Europe with shifting alliances?

There could be thousand of minor actions, not all that significant (though they might seem significant at the time), just over and over and over again, with a gradual degrading of civilization...and no clear resolution...

Everyday, I’ll bet three hundred Democrats are taking the ‘red-pill’ and flipping over to becoming Republicans

Yep. There goes your revolution. We dodged the CW by defeating Hillary. We got back our country by electing Trump. End of story except for all the stuff happening.

Folks who think this would restore Constitutionalism aren't seeing the current picture...barring some effective leaders emerging, it would either end up with government squashing everyone on both sides and being decided by which officials managed to kill off their rivals and gain control over the weapons, with a new set of rules, or maybe turn out to be a drawn out guerrilla effort that, if effective, might leave us vulnerable to China and others w/o a central government in control of our abilities to defend ourselves and project U.S. power around the world.

The Left knows this and is fine with it and they want our side to react in a big enough way to strike the match.

Folks fantasize about being part of the group that quickly quells and wipes out the worst of the Left in short order but they are delusional in today's world.

If something happens, I will just lay low and let the crazy haters kill each other off.

I agree with you. Independence is the way to survive. We actually tried this in pre Y2K. It’s workable. Much of what you said my parents did in the depression. They always had food and capable of fixing or making anything needed for survival.

My mom told stories of people walking the countryside willing to work just for a meal. I’d like to see that happen in today’s dependent society where the guv is expected to provide for all.

What I have learned is those living in huge metro areas similar to NYC & Los Angeles will perish when food supplies, transportation and utilities are cut off. Such leftist infestations have created their own demise.

All fantasies. There is only about 1% of the country who deeply cares about these matters. Most people are pretty ambivalent. That’s why pollsters never ask “Do you care enough to get off your dead azz and do something about it?” because almost everyone would answer “not really”.

Jeriann is either self-projecting or high from his special home grown organic ‘asparagus’.
