America Is Headed For A Civil War… Maybe
American Thinker ^ | 3 May, 2024 | Vince Coyner

Posted on 05/03/2024 3:57:52 AM PDT by MtnClimber

The 19th-century Prussian general Karl Von Clausewitz famously said: “War is not an independent phenomenon, but the continuation of politics by different means.” Or as we more often hear it, “War is but politics by different means.” Some predict that America is on the verge of a hot war. But while it’s true that our country is more divided than ever, it may not be as divided as the pro-Hamas, anti-American protesters hope.

War is what generally happens when two (or more) sides get to a point where they can no longer peacefully coexist with the current circumstances. America seems to have reached that point...

How does one know a civil war is coming? Have you been on a college campus lately?

SNIP

In November 1968, Richard Nixon defeated Hubert Humphrey in the Electoral College 301-191. Add to that the 46 electors that George Wallace took, and the country voted 347 to 191 against the Democrats (57% vs 43% in the popular vote). This was at a time when most Democrats were strongly anti-communist, and being pro-American was considered normal, almost required.

Today, we have a completely different landscape. In 2024, Democrats are virtually indistinguishable from communists, and being pro-American is seen as racist.

Hence, the college protests. They’re not just pro-Hamas; they’re much, much more. These protests are very much a reflection of their time given the seemingly mainstream nature of the beliefs that power them. They’re at their core not just anti-Israel, they’re antisemitic, they’re anti-American, anti-Western, anti-capitalist, anti-police, and of course, anti-white.

Sadly, all those things are basically mainstream Democrat policies in 2024. We see every single one of them play out across the country in federal, state, and local governments. From stultifying climate change regulations to the housing of illegals to DEI...

By showing America exactly who they are and how much they hate everything about America, perhaps enough non-radicalized Democrats will see the light and vote for the guy who promises to put America first. They might still hate him, but we can hope they’ll love their country more. If enough do, we just might avoid another civil war…

I sure hope we can vote our way out of this, but if Trump is elected, I fear that the communists will see no way except civil war.

They need to remember that no large city can supply its own power water or food. It wouldn’t be force on Force, it would be asymmetric.

Chicago gets its water directly from Lake Michigan. The power and chemicals to make it potable all come from outside, however.

The food to feed the 3,000,000 people is another matter entirely.

If the filthy commies start a war, then let us end them.

Sorry, but your typical American has a job, a mortgage, car payment, boat payment, kids in school and soccer practice after school and on weekends.

He's too busy to get involved in a civil war.

Yep, it would have to be asymmetric, at least until we capture some of that fancy SWAT team hardware. ;-)

It was that way at the start of the American revolution. Right up until it stopped being that way.

The urban communists would likely head out of the cities to Burn, Loot, Murder.

When this fight comes, you will not be able to avoid it. Your leftist neighbors will be kicking your door in.

All of that material crap will evaporate.

The 2 Gun squad at the local gun club is at least as well equipped as any SWAT team in our State. Some of them actually are actually trainers for them.

It’s my estimation that if things ever really do go pear shaped at least 2/3 of them would be on our side.

It will only take a few atomic warheads detonated on Washington District of Caligula, then it will be over. The power originates from the Deep State. They reside in DC.

Obliterate the Deep State Rats where they live and work. End of story.

Meanwhile, from Illinois...

Illinois Democrats approve changes to election law in less than 24 hours

Q: If IL is a blue state, why does Deep State have to steal its elections...? 🤔

Civil wars do not allow for "a job, a mortgage, car payment, boat payment, kids in school and soccer practice after school and on weekends."

When all that collapses, everyone gets to pick a side.

I'm already on one side. How about you?

It would be red states vs blue states The forces would be what military bases and resources are in the respective states that Governors can maintain control.

The author is about five years behind the times. We’re IN a civil war now.

If they were capable of reason they wouldn’t be leftists.
