so if this person in the foxhole with you happened to be the best hand to hand fighter in the platoon, you’d rather be in there with a coward, as long as his cultural values mesh with yours own...?

False premise, wouldn't be both.

Sorry. But simply would not trust such an individual. In a fight character means everything.

Yep! At least I would not have worry about the coward stabbing/shooting me in the back.

By about 1840 or so, most people knew a break up was coming.

The fact it took 20 years says more about the desire of most to stay together than anything else

The answer is secession. Let CA go.

With the stolen election in San Diego county in 2016 it is pretty obvious that all urban areas of Californication are ALREDY GONE - the "gimmies" have complete control and will elect the freebie handout masters with every election going forward. ILLEGALS bu the millions are voting in CA what with there registration when receiving a drivers license. Some municipalities are passing regs that allow these Illegal Aliens to vote in local election and even be elected to public office. HOW CAN AMERICA SURVIVE WITH THAT SYSTEM IN PLACE? IT CANNOT.

"Let CA go. Let the NE go. The rest can move onto better
more prosperous times."

Where would they go?
The trouble is all of the supposedly sovereign states are
intertwined with one another. Everybody has relatives,
property, business interests in many other states.

And another thing, these states don't want to go.
They want to dominate the others and spread their leftist
politics across the country. So it's not a matter of
of "letting them go." It's a matter of keeping their
left-wing politics confined to their states.
And that's difficult to do.

Yes, but men got into duels, which at least kept the carnage contained.

The famous duel between Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton comes to
mind.

Democrats have attacked two of our senators already.

Hard for me to imagine any sort of widespread sustained civil unrest when the poorest are the most likely to be obese and are the most entertained poor people ever. I guess there could be first time for everything.

Do you not get that the civil war is over these “cultural values” and not about who has the best fighting skills?

Yes, when we are engaged in a hot war against those promoting abortion, homosexuality, socialism, globalism, and other leftist attempts to totally control people down to their very thoughts, we will be forced to shoot and kill them. When they have bullets lodged in their brains or midsections, they will no longer have the same fighting skills you assume they have to offer if they had them in the first place.

I wouldn’t really agree that the divide is between “the individual and the state”, the “state”, i.e. the nation-state, is what’s under assault, and what needs to be defended.

The republic was founded on individual rights. Social democracies are founded on collective rights of the majority.

It’s more fundamental than that though. The “republic” was founded as a country, a nation-state, with defined borders and a government that’s accountable to a defined group of people — its citizens. The globalists are out to destroy the country at that level. Whether it’s a republic with respect for individual rights or a social democracy that is more focused on the majority is a lesser detail. Those distinctions don’t have much meaning if you don’t have a country.

Rural vs. Urban.

There are divides even there.
The front lines will be our own front doors.
Should the lead start flying, you must be ready to kill your neighbor, the guy who delivers your mail, your fellow parishioners, your kid's teachers, possibly even family.
It ain't gonna be pretty or well organized. There are too many divides.

The division isn’t just along the topics mentioned in the article. The divisions are even more fundamental and deeper than those.

It’s going to end up a racial war as the left always uses those groups to create and cause chaos. That’s why they continue to foster the idea of “White minority”.....straight out of their play book. Set the races against one another and they’ll sit back in their ivory palaces and watch the fur fly......they “hide” behind all the racial groups.

Well, that certainly isn't going in a positive direction and the proglibs are not known for quitting while they are ahead.

Take the stolen elections from just months ago.

The progs have complete control of California, there is no question of that.

So why in the world would they actively and blatantly commit voter fraud to steal the very few remaining republican house seats left?

They are stupid, greedy and as usual, NEVER satisfied with getting their own way.

It is always more, more, more with the proglibs.

So, given the current state of affairs in California right now, where do the stupid, greedy and never satisfied "democrats" go from here?

What is "downhill" from $hi++y and pockets of 3rd world hellholes?

That is a sobering thought right there my friends.

And it is this "shining example of "Progressive Liberals" that the rest of the neo-communist "democrats" throughout the U.S. look to for shaping their local goals.





How does all this unfold for the rest of the nation?
