One of his predictions is that if civil war breaks out in will inevitably turn into fighting along ethnic lines.

No doubt. Prison populations self-segregate along racial lines. Prison is similar to war insofar as violence can erupt at any time, so people are always wary and form defensive bonds.

.so how much food do they grow inside the beltways?

"Lots" (hah) ... in their "community gardens". Which I have seen ... unattended, in disrepair, with food rotting on the ground beneath the plants.

But they're Oh! so proud of them, and get them written up in the newspaper and shown on TV.

The recent meteorological catastrophes in New York and New Jersey are a warning and an example ... for those with eyes to see and ears to hear.

Maybe.

It will be like the Swiss or Finnish civil war if it comes.

How many in our military want to fight Americans to uphold tyranny?

They will follow orders. That is what they are trained to do. Don't think otherwise. And there is a significant portion of the military that is Hispanic. They will have little to no feeling about blowing up North Dakota.

"It is THE MAJOR industry in PA, VT, OH, WI, CA, ... "

Yes, except that there is no food in blue Wisconsin. Like many states, it is the big city centers, in our case greater Milwaukee and Madison areas, that vote for communism. Those of use outside of those areas arent the ones supporting it.

Don’t forget that even in the “taker” states like Pennsylvania, there are vast swaths of the state populated by makers. In the western half of our commonwealth, there are only two taker counties. In the western three quarters, there are only three. Every other taker county is clustered along the eastern border.

That's right. There's no food in blue PA, OH, or NY, either. There probably is some in blue CA (although you might be surprised) and I know there is some in blue VT.

Maybe that's what Carlin was talking about with his "no blue food," routine of forty years ago.

That's why I said I'm not sure the country would necessary secede along state lines. More like 95% of a (Red) USA, with a (Blue) CSA in Coastal strips along both coasts, The Great Lakes, and the Ohio, Columbia, and Mississippi Rivers.

Madison will have to stay with the USA. We'll wall it off and put them on display.

[CharlesMartelsGhost]

Very true. Penn., Va. Wash, NV. Ill., Fl., OH., IA. and even Ca.
Get away from the big cities and one will find where the makers live.

Rare to see all three Keepers of the List on the same thread.

Not good.

I hope it means we're all three paying attention. Which may be a good thing, though the need for it is not.
