First, though I am a transplant, I knew even growing up in Connecticut that Civil War was a misnomer. Secession is not the same as Civil War. The colonies’ war with England was NOT a Civil War. I normally refer to it as the War of 1861, as that is not weighted in any direction. Of course War Between the States and War of Northern Aggression are other names popularly given.

What the author describes WOULD be a Civil War. While there are still Red states and Blue states, there are people on both sides, everywhere, even in the cities.

Looks like it’s going to be a super-deadly, super-toxic mix of the worst the Balkans had to offer and the South american “Dirty Wars”.

I hope to be dug in as best I can before that goes down.

Please read these two articles one after the other, and understand that it’s very unlikely that there will be a smooth transition of power in January.

The Civil War was started because of acts of attempted secession and aggression by secessionists attacking federal installations. Nonetheless, it was a Civil War.

I've read and liked your books, Matt, but I think you're making this one too complicated.

All they have to do is bring in five or ten or fifteen million Mooslims and wait for us to defend ourselves against them, then the US feral government will declare a just war on natural born citizens.

Go down fighting is all I can say.

As an example for the others if for no other reason.

I was asked to write about a possible CW2 scenario, and some other scenarios were already spoken for.

This is just one path among many, and all paths wind up in CW2 and grid-down.

There is no smooth landing ahead, no safe runaway truck exit.

We’re on the Titanic, the iceberg is dead ahead, and the captain is insane and has locked himself in the bridge and chained the wheel.

Nonetheless, it was a Civil War.

If you feel obliged to define it as such, and due to common usage have precedent to do so, I cannot stop you. In any event, what's coming as described will not be region against region, at least not along state lines.

That's a pretty good summary.

I've long said that I believe my death will be at the hands of a government agent. I'm starting to believe that more and more each day.

I understand your line of thought but a Civil war is not solely defined by a ubiquitous intermingling of combatants.

It is most commonly described as a war between citizens of the same country - nothing in that description says that it has to be along state or regional lines nor does it confine itself to a melee conflagration with no distinct geographical boundaries. You are splitting hairs.

“government will declare a just war on natural born citizens.”

Wonder if Obama, Rubio, and Cruz will consider themselves natural born then?

The proposal to “monitor” elections if not take it over certainly worries me.

Yes, this will be triggered by attempting to disarm us for our own safety from a domestic threat the same government created, after unconstitutionally banning firearms from the hands of private citizens.

I’ve spoken of a similar scenario...I think it is highly likely if she wins. It might take a while for it to happen...but it will if the court swings left of commie. There will be states, like my state of Texas, that won’t sit by and obey that ruling. Then...it’s on.

No matter what any person or persons do or don’t do, there is a cleansing coming, and it will be Old Testament in scope and nature.
