Letting California go independent would peacefully relieve a lot of political pressure in the rest of the 49. #CALEXIT is a great idea. I am for it.
Ping.
First, the Interstates to the cities will be cut off. Trucks entering or transiting will stop. Immediate panic will set in and rioting will begin as all shops and stores are looted.
There wll be no money. ATM’s will cease functioning as banks horde their physical $$$.
In the cities, chaos will prevail
Meanwhile, outside the cities, weapons will be oiled and readied
We are living an inversion of Clausewitz’ axiom.
“Politics is not an independent phenomenon, but the continuation of war by different means.”
The political environment is being shaped to drive the cattle into the pen. There is a War currently being executed against the traditional “American”. That American is doing nothing in response other than voting and hoping the levers of power will defend them. That is not going to be enough.
In order for America as it was established to continue, we must organize ourselves for violence. The Left has their terrorist wing up and running. We must answer with our own shock troops. We currently have the time, we simply don’t have the will.
100%
The divison today is nothing like 1860
Then it was geographic and focused on slavery and other economic issues and a certain level of rebellion against Lincoln’s further concentration of power in DC
That last part is somewhat concurrent
Today though it’s ideology and largely racial and demographic
Yes some minorities are on our side but at most one third of Latinos and 10 percent of blacks and Asians and maybe 25 percent of Jews
Most Rightists are White and Christian at least from birth
This is more like the Spanish civil war
do not think that a civle war will break out....republicans tend to respect the rule of law they are the one who own guns and are trained to use them. they also gravitate to jobs in the military. they dominate civilian jobs that are are first responders like ambulance driver, fire department and police. where most law abiding liberals have disarmed them selves work mostly in academia, entertainment industry and white collar tech jobs....this is a over simplification but this leads me to believe that the libral left is just incapable of participating in a armed conflict but believe that the very people they despise will fight this future armed conflict or them not realizing in any armed ibserection they will not be on the side of a libral.
There won’t be a civil war with the left. There will be a battle WITHIN the left that will fracture it, the hard-left turning on the elite with such savagery that the elites will flee to the right to save their *sses. We’ll take them in (perhaps foolishly, but we will) and together we’ll put down the hard left without a shot fired.
The elite only indulge left-wing nonsense because they feel so secure in their power and privilege that they can indulge the nonsense to feel cool and nice.
But that can’t hold. The hardcore left can’t stop with Exxon and Raytheon — they will go after Google, Facebook; Goldman Sachs and Bank of America; and the corporations that control Hollywood. It will go after the private schools, and test-selected public schools, and nice suburban schools, that enable the elites to live in metropolitan areas. It will go after Israel. It will continue to “decriminalize” and “decarcelize” until nice rich liberals are once again getting bricks to the back of their heads if they take a wrong turn on a Saturday night.
I've asked myself...Is this the hill I want to die on?
Is the country crumbling..yep.
Is my neck of the woods protected..yep. At least my place is,,,,,,,,,,,,
