A second American civil war is nothing to look forward to

Similarly, today, it is surprising to hear with what composure, and how glibly, members of the public, and even politicians, talk of a second American civil war. Some conservatives assume that they, having more arms and more training and practice in using them, would quickly prevail over the soy-boy Left.

Proficiency with firearms will be no match for nuclear bombs, which Democrat Eric Swalwell has already suggested deploying domestically.

The Democrats are busy even now destroying the institutions of government, the institutions for the peaceful adjustment of differing interests. They are doing this through the Mueller witch hunt, bureaucratic and judicial sedition, and the illegitimate impeachment inquiry, and they are fomenting violence through their Antifa organization and their rhetoric.

Guns are the least of the issue. Blue cities will lose power, food, and control. They will burn. End game.

Is it a civil war when Democrat thieves threaten because the police are closing in on them?

Absolute bullpucky. Split nothing. Cut all power, food and mobility to the blue cities. They will burn. Then come in, clean up, and enforce the Constitution.

We’re in it now with Trump in charge. We’re winning.

Not until we are as comfortable using violence as the Left is. At the recent Trump rally in Minneapolis, it was Trump supporters getting assaulted in the streets, not the other way around. We need to start punching back.

But now let’s suppose that Trump is arrested by the House Sergeant-at-Arms while he’s delivering the next State of the Union speech

The Democrats have freely discussed such possibilities within some of their more extremist factions. I doubt that they can get enough support to carry out such plans. But it makes the current "lawfare" against Trump supporters look like a "moderate compromise" position.

Any attempt to arrest the President would result in a literal firefight in the halls of Congress. President Trump would survive. A number of Congressmen would not. And the Republic would be ended.

I can imagine that it could be like Northern Ireland during the “troubles”. Our side would be the Orange but only if we hold the legitimate organs of government. If not then we would never be willing to do what the IRA did. The military would be like the Brits and set up road blocks and check points.

It would go on a long time. It would be called “crime”. Our women will demoralize us saying, “Think of the children.” “You should not stoop to their level.” “You are no better than they are.” “You make me uncomfortable when you talk like this.” Our politicians would fight us saying, “Great progress is being made.” “Peace process blah blah.” “We have introduced a bill to blah blah.” “We repudiate and condemn the terroristic acts that have been carried out in the name of freedom.”

How we are supposed to coordinate and communicate I cannot imagine. In Ulster they could meet in existing lodges, with no fear of enemy infiltration. Where are we gonna meet? We are very good at expressing emotions on websites (until they are shut down!) Otherwise please tell me how this is not emotional hyperbole, to mask the unsettling knowledge of the cowardice and weakness on our side.

IF an American civil war goes hot, we need to have an effective 'kill list'... who to take out first, second and third.

ABSOLUTELY

sorry, but... nearly everyone in this county is so freaking fat and lazy to be in a war.

LOL I’d estimated... 80% couldn’t even stand the site of an animal being butchered to eat, much less be able to stand hand to hand combat butchery.

NO NEED FOR A CIVIL WAR - SPLIT THE COUNTRY PEACEFULLY.

I believe that notion is excessively optimistic.

Kurt Schlichter's novel "People's Republic" is starting to look like a documentary.

I think you are right.
A simple blockade of truck traffic into urban areas means they go hungry in a few days. Riots ensue. I think it will be urban vs suburban and rural. And an urban ghetto will be a nasty place to be.

Not only will the internet go down, but all public services such as electricity.

No sewer, no water, no communications, no gas, no heat, no cooling, no nothing.

Think the population centers will last long?

If anyone thinks I am full of it, just take a look at what happens when a hurricane is about to hit, and what happens with the grocery store stock.

"It doesn’t take a lot of effort to learn to use one..."

But it does take effort and time to train someone to the point they are able to kill another person without feeling.

How can you equate today’s people with people like my husband’s 15 year old great-great uncle who went to war and fully expected to be killed, or the six other great-great uncles who put their plows aside to fight?

He is not as tough as them, although he has been. I am not as tough as my parents who went through WW I, II, Korea, the Great Depression, the anarchist in NYC, the rise of the mafia, bread lines and unemployment. My mother saw the last typhoid epidemic.

But, I am worlds tougher than the current generation.

No, there will be no winners this time. The vast majority of the population will look up from their Iphones, shrug and say, “meh, what is this to me.”

“I think it will be more like the 1970 underground terrorist attacks. That kind of thing.”

Or put another way, it will be a series of decisive, precision, specifically targeted “eliminations” of the appropriate filth.

Patriots could be well served by procuring one of the many fine 1/2 MOA rifles and quality glass available on the market today capable of 1500 meter shots.
Entrust a well selected friend and practice 1 shot cold hits at the longest and shortest available ranges your territory afford.
Build your dope cards and practise on monthly intervals. Only one shot, then move.
Build low heat signature guillie suits.
Keep your mouths shut but always look to expand your network.

Our entire civilization is now dependent upon a digital central nervous system.

What could possibly go wrong?

Genocide is uglier than war.
When one capitulates the results are guaranteed.
