Regardless of who is elected, it'll be civil war

With one exception, the wars in which the United States has engaged since its inception involved our nation against one or more external adversaries. That exception, the American Civil War (1861-1865), still elicits an emotional response among our citizens due to the inherent tragedy connected to a nation at war with itself – the whole "brother against brother" dynamic that is recalled whenever discussions of this conflict arise.

One less common aspect of our Civil War (as compared to other nations that have endured civil wars) is that America was geographically divided at the time by the Mason-Dixon line, which divided the Union and Confederate states. This more resembled traditional military conflicts with external adversaries, and has colored many Americans' idea of what a civil war is like. Unlike our Civil War, civil wars in most nations generally involve disparate or dissident factions fighting against each other and/or whatever regime is holding power.

I'm not going to say that what we've been experiencing over the last three months have been the first salvos of a civil war, but it sure looks like it. While hard-line socialists in the Democratic Party are working within the political infrastructure and behaving as though they are conducting the business of governance according to the rule of law and constitutionally established procedures, they are in fact in the process of fomenting civil war – or at least, they have made it apparent that they are willing to go that far if they are not able to gain ascendency via political means.

These are not your GGGF Yankees. Today’s limp-wristed Yankees would love to ditch FL and TX from the union.

[amorphous]

Lol, you guessed it! It felt like home. Now it's nothing but one condo after another near the beach compared to its formal glory.

I was on a particular assignment with the AF there at Tyndall for a brief time.

[amorphous]

Todays’ Yankees are pussies.

We Southerners made that mistake once already.

[central_va]

Ask them if the USA would be better off without FL and TX. You will get a resounding yes.

[amorphous]

Well, Soros is clever.

Indeed he must be. I wonder where his cleverness originates? Satan maybe?

[amorphous]

The longer the boil festers, the more pain it will cause before it erupts.

That is true; however, most are too fearful of lancing it.

I was at the Pentagon for three years. I needn't know about your 'assignment', savvy? Funny thing: I've lived here full-time since early '99, and I'm probably the only person around who has never been to Panama City. Now, St. Augustine, FL is a different story. My first wife wanted to go visit based on a travel report from a co-worker. So, we booked a flight from Dulles, and went down for three days. I had a wonderful time, in spite of her. 🤣 The trip back was a nightmare. Our connecting flight in ATL was delayed due to an engine problem; then delayed again because the part they needed was on a flight that was delayed itself; then cancelled completely. We got shuttled to a nearby motel and got about 45 minutes of time in the rack before our wakeup call came, and we had 30 minutes to hit the latrine, shower, brush our teeth, and be out front for the shuttle bus. By the time we got back to our apartment, we looked like a couple of tail-dragger cropdusters that were out of fuel. I got another hour of pillow time before I had to get up and drive to the Five-Sided Rathole for my shift. Her Highness got about 12 hours of sleep before she even used the bathroom. (This was one reason among many I joined the American Legion; to go to my local post and drink beer until I knew she was in bed asleep. See where this marriage was heading yet?) I've been there three times since, all with my current wife. Lovely place, if you haven't been there. Historic. Peaceful. I can recommend several points of interest if you ever decide or have the chance to spend a few days. I used to be a bit of a beach rat in Ocean City, MD, as a native Marylander, but I've gotten to the age where the peace and quiet are preferable, as opposed to being another bobbing piece of Technicolor chum for tiger sharks along with every other 20-year-old from every college within a hundred miles.

I had the entire kit and the receiver parkerized by someone who knew what they were doing before I assembled it. It’s a tack driver. I added optics only in the last few years to compensate for my ageing eyesight. Now I’m comfortably back in the rifleman’s quarter mile. and a bit beyond.

Yours should be similarly accurate.

[amorphous]

I’ve spent time in JAX, Daytona, and the Ft. Lauderdale, Miami areas on the east coast. Somehow I missed St. Augustine. I like Florida a lot, but it’s getting crowded. I, too, prefer quiet. The occasional stay for a week visit from the grandchildren more than offsets too much peace. :)

If Biden wins, it will just be another miserable grind down.

There is no way that Biden wins legitimately. Period. Even his own voter base doesn't like him. Hillary was unlikeable, but at least she could put sentences together. If it is declared that Biden won, we will know that the election has been stolen. Are you willing to live under the result of a coup? Perhaps more importantly, do you think the victors of a coup are going to be fair and gentle with you and your people? Will you continue to believe in the infallibility of the American electoral system all the way to the end of the boxcar ride?

The herbivores formerly known as the Mercun Peepul will not gloriously rise up and patriotically fight. It's a fantasy.

Dude, I've seen you here blackpilling people for a while now. You need to understand something: the vast majority of people, since the dawn of man, have been sheep, and they always will be sheep. Revolutions, uprisings, and rebellions are always led by a small percentage of the population, less than 10%, easily, and then, after it has gotten underway, some of the sheep jump on one bandwagon or another.

So, will most American people rise up and fight? The answer is of course not. Not at first. Only after the glorious 3% get it started will the rest follow. But 3% is all it takes. So quit crapping on everything.

[amorphous]

What do you think could/should replace the two-party system?

I think one where everyone is pulling together for the common good. One with enough representatives that it makes it hard to buy them all. And one where our representatives perform their duties from their districts/counties/parishes.

[glorgau]

When I say “it will be a miserable grind down”, I mean miserable grind down like living in the Soviet Union was a miserable grind down. It’ll take until about the next summer before push comes to shove after that.

[fr_freak]

You might be right, but my point is that a grind down can only occur when the populace accepts the grinders’ ascent to power as legitimate. Otherwise, it would be a rather quick escalation of unpleasant shenanigans. Which it should be.

[Charles Martel]

Yes, mine is more accurate than I had hoped for; I was smiling after the first three aimed shots of Radway Green. I never bothered with getting it reparked, as the parts kit and new receiver matched so well.

[Salamander]

OMG check it out...and I know who the "clubs" will be.

Now I GOTTA go!

[Old Sarge]

“The glorious 3%” That’s a phantasy, and you know it.

Having been inside the “Patriot Movement” for years, who shall I believe, you, or my lying eyes? Where everyone’s a former Space Shuttle door gunner with the SEALForceDeltaRangers; where everyone’s the seven-star colonel of the East Dakota Gordon Lightfoot SpecOps FREEFOR Volunteers; where everyone is going to valiantly die in a pile of brass as they stand in front of their patriot bunkers?

You can’t get conservatives to put down the remote and the Doritos and get off the sofa long enough to do anything. When SHTF, it’s easy to predict what these rock-ribbed-rugged-individualists keyboard commandos will do: nothing.

Google St. Augustine and check it out. Add it to your eventual destination list. I always have my itinerary set up when I visit favorite haunts. One place is Hooked On Harry’s Seafood, next to the Amreican Legion post across from the Bridge of Lions and the old Spanish fort, on A1A. Great blackened mahi sammich. I love courtyard seating there, no matter how hot, because it’s all under shade trees.The Spanish Quarter is loaded with shops, pubs, and restaurants. They have a local winery that offers tours and makes surprisingly good vino (try the ruby port). Speaking of haunts, St. Augustine Light is allegedly the most haunted in the U.S. Cassion tower over on Anastasia Island. Iconic paint like Hatteras Light, 217 steps up to the lamp room. I can’t do the walk anymore with my bad legs, but a beautiful view of the ocean and Matanzas Bay from up there. Seriously, check the town out online. There’s a thousand things to do, and it’s not just some college beach town most months.

[Viking2002]

Ah-HA! Park directly opposite, crank your throttles, and see how loud you can get your pipes. Drown those fairies out. I’d like to be there with a percussion pistol stuck in my belt and clenching a dagger between my teeth.

I believe repeal of The 17th Amendment could go a long way in an effort to save the Union.. The all powerful federal government needs to trim it's sails a bit.. Especially in the realm of education..
