Yes. The right is militarily disorganized. Organizing online is dangerous.
That said, there are militias in each state that would attract recruits. The NRA could be a rallying point. There are historical organizations such as the Sons of the Confederacy. There are a large number of veterans who could lead. Federal and National Guard units would have divided loyalties. Kurt Schlicter has gamed these options very well.
The geographical nature of CW II is an interesting point. Where and how to fight?
I would expect red states to secede so external boundaries would be established. Home guards would need to suppress the internal leftest threat within each state. College campus’ could be neutralized with little threat of harming a friendly.
The big pictures is that the left is concentrated on islands that could be surrounded. Power, food and water could be cut off.
I always thought the Second Amendment would be the tripwire for CW II, but the causes of conflict are multiplying. The threat to election integrity is looming large. The GND and its threat to private property is a potential cause. Suspension of the Bill of rights under an national emergency decree is a possibility.
I would argue that we are fighting the first civil war, but otherwise the point is valid.
There's nothing "civil" about it and until Conservatives are willing to get in the fight and fight dirty with everything we have, we'll lose.
PDJT is showing the way, will Conservatives line up and follow? Unlikely at this point. We're two+ years into Trump's Presidency and it appears we're getting our butts handed to us.
FFS unify and learn to fight!
War itself has undergone serious paradigm shifts that we have yet to resolve. The concept that won us the Cold War, Qualitative Advantage renders the population as a National Asset obsolete as a concept. Technology makes a human population a liability rather than an asset and renders the enemy population even more of a liability. So indiscriminate bombing of cities becomes accepted. It is against this context that we must apply our conjectures. When Geography is always the reason Ideology is just the excuse there is a complex interaction at play. I do believe it works out in cities being death traps. So there actually are some geographical fault lines.
About the CWII Ping List
The CWII Ping List is short for Civil War II. It is NOT a list of people advocating another Civil War in America. It is a list of people who are interested in the parallels between the Civil War (or War Between the States, if you prefer) and our current situation, or more generally are noting the references to a 'coming Civil War' that are made in the press.
Of course sometimes this is merely a figure of speech, such as "The Tea Parties are fighting a civil war for the heart of the GOP". This would not merit a CWII ping.
On the other hand someone saying something like "The events in California are reminiscent of what happened in Yugoslavia in the period proceeding the Civil War" would merit a ping.
FR rules do not permit advocating for the overthrow of the Republic, and I am not aware of anyone doing so on the list. Still many do see that as the political climate worsens we may be heading in a direction that makes such a conflict all but inevitable, particularly if other avenues for resolving our differences are taken away. Such as widespread vote fraud by leftists making elections meaningless, or a small cadre of judges over-ruling all attempts to end destructive policies over the clear will of the people.
The correct keyword tag for the Civil War II ping list is "CWII". Please Freep Mail me to get on the list
We recently had a Governor openly advocate for infanticide and states are beginning to welcome abortion right up until birth.
The war is the same that has gone on forever:
Good vs. evil.
I recall an important message I heard long ago why God was so harsh in the Old Testament. And basically the answer was that God wanted to be very clear that there are rules humans need to follow if we are to exist in harmony. Rules decided only by God. And there are grave consequences if we don't follow those rules. God has been largely extinguished in our society. And we are simply seeing the consequences.
I know it won't fly with many here but I think the best thing we can do in the fight today is to study the word of God and try to impart it with actions and words whenever possible. Most certainly in the voting booth.
You can’t have a civil war when only one side is fighting. B*tching and complaining is NOT fighting. Watching from your couch as your opponents trample everything you stand for with the intent to destroy your nation is NOT fighting.
There will be NO Civil War II. I can’t even imagine what the left could do that would get a massive number of Normals to attend a demonstration, let alone actually physically resist.
Sadly Obama has been successful in transforming America. I dont recognize my country anymore. Beam me up Lord!
Gee, and I recall getting ripped for saying this over a years ago. See tagline.
...and it is accelerating with the election of so many outright communists, socialists and islamists to Congress who have now brazenly dropped their masks.
The right has been complacent because it has failed to see this enemy for what it is. We have wanted to be left alone, go about our daily lives, go to our jobs, and keep pretending this is the America we loved and grew up in.
Can the right, the traditional Americans, awake in time and defeat this foe? How can it be defeated?
Good assessment.
Dear Mr. Prager,
See my tag line.

Well done.

My own daughter told me “Our generation cannot wait for your generation to die off.” That was the most shocking, most distressing, most hurtful thing a child could tell a parent. That exposed how much these evil institutions have snared her in spite of us raising her right.
The geographical nature of CW II is an interesting point. Where and how to fight?
Where? Grocery stores, shopping malls, movie theaters, to name a few. These people have addresses. Im just saying.
How? If you need a playbook you dont belong in the game.
Im not advocating it. Just stating whats happened in any number of dirty wars in the last 50-60 years, thats all.

“Red Dawn” Wolverines...
Meanwhile, the left has hundreds or maybe thousands of loosely affiliated groups doing battle every day. David Horowitz does an excellent job of cataloging them at Discover the Networks.
Prager fails to mention the use of mass immigration as a primary weapon of the left to win this civil war. We have brought in 35 million legal permanent immigrants since 1990. This is the equivalent of the current population of Canada.
The Dems will become the permanent majority party within a decade if legal immigration continues at status quo levels.
Civil War? A Cold Civil War, yes. But the left takes potshots. They are allowed. We sit with hands tied.
Im tired of this.
Bush 41 and 43 were liberals masquerading as conservatives.
