Civil wars are started by desperate, hungry people who have nothing to lose. Walk through any Walmart and take a look at the corpulent poor. Too many people have WAY too much to lose. Also, beyond the annoyance of the communist agitator group BLM is anybody organizing militias? Not that I’ve noticed.
Even if you weaned them off the EBT cards and the Obama-phones, they wouldn’t take to the streets. (Not in Republican states, anyway, as they’d get their fat butts shot off.)
Let’s say president Hillary outlaws guns. Okay, fine, we all become outlaws. She has no moral authority and her legal authority would be rapidly reduced to nothing. We would suffer through for more years of a bad economy and she would guarantee a Republican replacement. Our civil wars are now at the ballot box.
“Let’s say president Hillary outlaws guns.”
Obama was going to do that. Perhaps he will do that after the election.
my grandfather fought in the Mexican civil war and the Cristero war.... he said when a man can't feed his family, he'll pick up a gun.
That's why we have welfare, football stadiums, legalized drugs and cable television.... to busy eating, f#@king, smoking, watching sports and sleeping to go to war.
“We would suffer through for more years of a bad economy and she would guarantee a Republican replacement. “
And Jeb! will be all tuned up and ready to go by then, too.
Entirely incorrect.
The American Revolution was essentially a British civil war, and it was started by men who quite a bit to lose, and most of whom DID lose it throughout the course of the war. Indeed, the only really successful civil wars are those prosecuted by insurgents who either have, or can draw upon, the resources necessary to allow them to outlast the government against which they are fighting.
“Our civil wars are now at the ballot box.”
For now, at least.
I see this election as the American people giving ‘the system’ one last chance to fix our problems through civil means. If TPTB decide to take that option from us, all bets are off.
Anything could happen.
Yup, we figured out a way to make the poorest the most obese, something I don’t think has ever happened before. I guess it’s possible but it’s hard for me to imagine sustained revolutions and unrest getting started under those circumstances.
