CWII would be a horrible, sickening, thing to experience. It would drag on for many years with tens of millions of deaths. Basically, it will be cities against rural, but even that understates things. As cities will first purge conservatives and rural with first purge commies.
From there, food, water, electricity, fuel, medicine, everything will be in short supply to simply unavailable. It will continue until one side is reduced, completely exhausted, and cannot take anymore punishment, not before. And, good luck if we think other countries will not stick their hands into it and make it even worse.
I’m of the opinion any second civil war will result in World War 3.
How many countries behave because we might slap them around?
That sounds about right. America will be destroyed from within as predicted. The old and weak will be the most vulnerable. Looking at how many of the young have this harsh attitude these days; I can see them being quite cold and cruel to others without feeling any remorse at all. It’s like they are already dead inside.
The cities will be the easiest to conquer. Pushing the conservatives out will be a good thing for the conservatives. After that just shut off their supply of water, power, food, and gas. They will surrender within a month as they start killing each other for the fewer and fewer supplies left. It may only take a week.
The grand experiment of making America a melting pot has turned it into a pressure cooker. It isn’t just racial now though; it’s mostly ideological. Race just feeds the ideology.
The roving mobs of young gangsters types will be the most destructive. Think Mad Max scenario. Even if they are repelled today; they will come back with more and more people until they get what they want or die trying. Single family units won’t stand a chance against them. Only by uniting into groups can they be fought off.
I expect your numbers are a bit low though. I can’t see this ending without at least 100 million dead; maybe 200M. Mexico and Canada will get sucked into it too with half their populations decimated as well.
I think what you mean is city vs the state and the state will win. Texas can put down an rebellious cities at will for example.
What kind of uniforms will we have? You don’t want to shoot people on your own side?
