“we conservatives have all of the guns and ammo”

This is not true. The left has some elements which are armed. Principally gangbangers and the like, but also some racially genocidal groups and they do have some vets as well. Most large city police organizations would swing left, and probably most military officers and support MOS enlisted personnel. Add to this the fact that most conservatives choke at the idea of ‘breaking the law’, and the left relishes it.

It would not be pretty. Civil wars are always harder and more bloody than the proponents expect. A US civil war in the current day would resemble the Spanish Civil War in many ways.

Their main weak points are that they are lazy, fractious, self indulgent, addicted to magical thinking and with not a clue about logistics or in some cases sanitation and personal hygiene. They are mostly clumped in cities too.

Perfect. Secure the perimeter of the city limits, turn off the water, electricity and gas, and starve them to death. Nothing goes in, and nothing comes out. Anybody tries to leave; Shoot them on the spot. Problem solved.

I'm with you. I'm not at all confident conservatives could win. How old are most of us now, 50? 60? 70? We can scoff at libs because they don't generally know how to shoot and don't own guns, but how long does it take to make a soldier? Ten weeks of basic and six or so of AIT.

I'm afraid us old timers probably wouldn't do very well against an army of young commies who were motivated by a raging hatred of everything conservative, no matter how confident we are now that we could put a whuppin' on them.

Furthermore, the longer the fight lasted the worse it'd be for us: They'd be getting experience while we'd just be getting older.

Our only hope would be our warriors who have fought in Iraq and Afghanistan. But if the armed forces came down on the side of some hypothetical socialist president, it'd be a rough road for them. Nope, I do not want to see such a conflict.

Think again.

In the last poll of military officers, 90% identified themselves as Republicans or conservatives.

You also might want to run over to Second City Cop and read. If that doesn’t disabuse your wrong-headed opinion, nothing will.
