The cities against the suburbs, with the majority of the battles being about trying to keep them contained within the cities

China’s plan to destroy America.

Notice they’re funding films to promote this - CIVIL WAR and the one on Netflix.

Hope we make it to November without a new ‘crisis’ falling on the country.

Privation, Starvation, Mutilation, Torture, Genocide, Cannibalism.

Then it will get serious.

Haven’t watched this one, but read and viewed a lot of these things. In my opinion, it will be mostly rural versus urban. Most of the military will be on our side. We know how to use weapons and have strong moral fiber, honor, decency. We would surround the cities and hammer away and starve them into submission. And I hope to not be around for it, but if the left is allowed to continue like it is now, I can’t see the USA remaining intact for more than 5 years.

I think that would also be accompanied by moves by states legislatures to restrict the power of leftist cities significantly.

“make it to November”

Even more dangerous will be from November to Jan 20th.

“What Would a Second US Civil War Really Look Like?”

Probably after it started all the Chinese troops and whatever troops the Rusians with their Irani comrades could get here would then began their own war to occupy the US. But I’m sure our new DEI Military could defeat both of those armies ... Riiiiight!

They’ve (Leftists) have always been with us but now there are more True Believers . The True Believers have captured significant ground and they’re in the “Hold” phase. We need to figure out how to cut their Supply Lines for any gains to be had.

I'm beginning to wonder about that. I used to say the same...but, with what all is happening now...hope we never have to find out.

Civil War sucks. Losing your citizenship in the Republic and becoming the subject of Godless tyrants sucks more. When the time comes ... choose. We'll all fight for one side or the other, make no mistake. The question is, how do you want to be remembered?

Yes. I would expect that the states in revolt would form armies much like in 1860. Blue urban areas are basically islands. A good strategy would be to surround them and cut off their food, water and power. To speed things up, cities could be fire bombed. In the rear areas, communists would have to be rounded up and eliminated.

Just my observation...

The right seems perfectly content to leave things be...oh, we get pissed watching everything go to hell, but we DO little/nothing.

The left continues to get their way, but they're never happy...always need something/someone to hate, and they've got media, academia completely on their side to vent whatever the latest spew/brain-fornicated narrative.

Empires fall, ours (perhaps the entire western world) may be at that tipping point.

...with a little help from enemies...foreign and domestic.

As viewed from a progressive pedestal. Rubbish. The potential for a conflagration brought on by the oppression of patriotism, however, is alarmingly real.

I live in Madison County. During the first civil war it earned the nickname “Bloody Madison”. We’ll live up to it in another civil war.

It will be ugly, raids by bands of city dwellers out into countryside looking for food and weapons..It will never return to what it once was.

I hope and pray it never happens to this wonderful country and its people. Would never advocate it in the slightest and there is no need for it. Speculating that if it did happen, however, it would be rural versus urban and the rural areas control the food supply, trucking into the cities, can stop trains in remote areas, and control the electrical grid. The average city store has about three days’ supply of food and that is in normal times. People can adjust to no heat or light; its much more difficult to adapt to no food.

Most? Ha! What’s little of the military that would be on our side will be the first thrown into mass graves.

Won’t be one. Get over the fantasy. The left has been waging war for decades. We get up and go to work because we’re more worried about material things than freedom. See tagline.
