No one wants a civil war. The last one was horrific in the age of one shot and reload muskets with limited range. Imagine one in the time of automatic, semi-automatic rifles, pistols and shotguns, much less anti-tank weapons, modern artillery and explosives.

If would also be a war without fronts or territory.

There are no Republican states or Democrat states. The best you can do in most places is have the cities against the suburbs.

Not even that. Firstly, you've left out rural. Secondly, you will have battles within cities... neighborhood, blocks, apartment buildings. Same will happen in suburbs.

To quote another FReeper whose name I can't remember, in our "next" civil war,

"The advantage would go to the side willing to look their neighbor, fellow parishioner, PTA member, mailman in the eye and kill them.

Don’t know about that. A whole bunch of people would have no problem declaring California a seditious state, followed by the appointment of a military governor, as outlined in the 1867-68 Reconstruction Act.

If Congress makes a move to impeach
Trump, patriots would march on
DC. That would be where the
battlefront forms. Just my
opinion. 63,000,000 pitchforks
would make quite a statement.
