If the States fight this war like they did the “Civil war” and the American revolution it will not be like the French revolution as the States all posses a system of law and order that protects individual and equal rights.
If the mob fights it like they did in France then you will have a French type of revolution. Given the gigantic size of the Federal government and the vast geographic and popular size of the union.
I can’t imagine a popular mob revolt such as took place in France being effective much less successful. The tyrants would have time to organize a formal army and invade and crush the rioting areas before they could possibly over take the whole base of the Government denying them that capability.
So really unless the States fight this war there will be nothing but a bloody massacre by the organized troops of government against the disorganized rioting mobs of the people.
Realisticly in a sittuation like this the sheirf and by extention local town should be seeking to sue for a compromise and make a point in the drama. That is IF they catch the power hungry attention of big government.
Preferably thou the Federal government will be too busy with other matters to care or do anything about this, and the people of the town will simply be more free.
That is until we get enough such sheriffs, state & local leaders and free folk living under their protection as to have a sizeable polical and practial force. At which point the game is still suing for a compromise. (That means playing reasonable and simply taking what you can get while you slowly over time encore back onto the turf the Feds have sense usurped. Basically a reversal of what they been doing to us over the last 100 years.)
So A war i don’t think so, merely a thousand “little bights” to reclaim that which we have lost.
If it ever does happen, consideration towards killing the disease of socialism within the states forever should be considered.
