Civil wars are most uncivil.
During our War of Independence, the war was fought as fixed battles in the North, but in the South it was guerilla warfare. Night-riding militias loyal to the Continental Congress and those loyal to the Crown went on rampages, burning and killing those loyal to the other side.
In our Civil War, historians tend to concentrate on the fixed battles, but in the border states it was guerilla war. The beginning of Clint Eastwood’s 1976 film, “The Outlaw Josey Wales,” gives an accurate picture of life in a border state where irregulars burned and killed their way across the countryside.
A similar experience today would be catastrophic.
First off, people on this board like to say, “We have all the weapons, and our opponents don’t even know which bathroom to use.” Run a search on the “John Brown Gun Club of Seattle” to see if we have a monopoly on weaponry.
The collapse of the government’s ability to have the last word on violence would create what Hobbes called “ a state of nature.” We prefer the shorter term “anarchy” today. It says so much more.
Imagine having to maintain a 24 hour watch on your home or barricaded neighborhood to keep out those whom the local authorities can no longer control. Imagine your own participation in a militia raid, not to take the property of others, but to kill those who would happily kill you first. Think of Northern Ireland, Bosnia, Kosovo and Chechnya brought to our shores.
Then think of hostile nations who would gladly take advantage of our involvement in a civil war to move on us – or even get involved with our conflict.
UN troops would unite and motivate every armed patriot and probably 2/3 of the military across the country.
But suppose they were infiltrated while we were preoccupied.
A decade or so ago, I went to the Vancouver Art Museum to see the Forbidden City Exhibit. Security was provided by shaven-headed Chinese men in business suits with police-style radios. From their military bearing, there was no doubt in my mind that I was witnessing NCOs of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army on Canadian soil protecting the valuable objects of their heritage. Foreign troops may not be wearing uniforms when they are brought in.
If the post with the microscopic print is correct, I can see the White Hats shying away from anything resembling civil war. The final plan may be similar to the long march of the Marxists through our institutions; in other words, a decades-long plan.
The only remaining, rational alternative to CW 2.0...No one man can cure this...it requires everyone at their local precinct level to be involved.
The electoral process has been progressively, formally corrupted since 1984. The “image’ of the Left as an honest political wing in the USA has been driven by the media.
Since 1984 the control of media outlets has dropped from over 50 different organizations to just 6 today. The product of that consolidation is an ILLUSION of a “powerful Left wing”, a manufactured progressive consensus that has usurped political power it has no business with honestly. “honest” votes for Biden/the Left were 30-35 million. At most.
The problems originate in corrupted, local electoral precincts in deep Blue urban centers. These NEED to be cleaned. Nobody desires the dirty job. Part of “redistricting” projects, BTW, is to create regions and social environments permitting unfettered and unhindered electoral Fraud.
Think parts of cities where Republicans fear to tread. No bipartisan voting observers. If any Republican observers, or even voters show up,they are threatened. This is the beginning process of turning a Red state Purple.
This article provides a glimpse into exactly this process going on in Philadelphia in 2009

There are more of “us” than “them” A whole lot more
Its all kayfabe. Its what they want you to believe, its what they want you to “feel”

What the left has done, ever since the 1984 Reagan-Mondale blowout - (and Mondale was a “moderate” Democrat!) - is to start electoral fraud programs in the largest states to turn them from Red-to-Purple-to Blue. They realized they had no future otherwise. It started in California and New York.
This last election cycle local Texans managed to turn it around at the precinct level-their RINO Governor not withstanding.
Extreme involvement in your local precincts and making sure paper balloting on ELECTION DAY, with hand counts and recounts in a transparent fashion and setting with open audit trails available to the general public, among other measures-are key.
Its dirty, tough work and initially confrontational with the existing perps. As the above article illustrates, it will be dangerous. But it beats the heck outta the alternatives -which are bearing down like a runaway freight train
The left has focused on corrupting our local electoral process. They focus on the deep urban centers. This process of corruption is very active presently in Georgia, using Atlanta as its base, the last 2 election cycles. This process is seditious.
We the People have no future otherwise. These people INTEND to “rule”
The benefits of this process created the UniParty which is WHY this has been allowed to mature.
There has been no vetting nor authentication of that microscopic-font post whatsoever, and a number of its leading claims are significantly misrepresenting what Q posted as well as the facts on the ground.
In hewing to that post's contents hook, line, and sinker, you are at best acting as a demoralization troll, and possibly much worse. At least as far as this thread is concerned.
