You are correct that a theoretical stand-up war would be an unmitigated disaster, and would probably end as you speculated. If the armchair generals here really wanted to fight, they would have to look at asymmetrical warfare. I sure as hell don’t want “the shooting” to start. That’s why I’m hoping that some kind of civil disobedience will work. If not, then all bets are off.
AGREED.....freedom !!!!!!
It really depends on how hard core the liberals want to play. For example Mr. Robinson’s suggestion of mass demonstrations shutting down Washington D.C.
One simple but effective way to counter would be release a low grade virus onto the demonstrators that would cause gastrointestinal problems. Most protesters thinking something is going around that they didn’t want to get would go home. The board of health could ban large scale gatherings for health reasons, etc.
I hope it wouldn’t get to a certain point but if it does good old fashion sabotage is much more of a force multiplier.
I think if people started to look around their daily lives they would be surprised how much stuff they could do or not do that would gum up the infrastructure and/or make liberal lives a living hell.
The Army fighting some rednecks in rural Georgia in a district that votes Republican isn’t as effective as if Farmer Jones “accidentally” took out the high power lines running through his farm supplying Detroit therefore causing a blackout which causes rioting and looting in a predominately Democratic district. Or it can be as simple as making a mistake as a worker at a bank and screwing up some liberal’s bank balance for a few days.
But everybody needs to stock up on supplies before we come to that point because sabotage will affect everybody in ways we can’t guess.
Also the greatest asset isn’t ammo but information. Because the Internet is a godsend of information people should search out whatever information they think they will need now while it is up and available and store it on easily hideable thumb drives.
