Agreed...but if he wins. Which I’m thinking he’ll do, easy. From Election Day forward, it’ll have the potential to be bad.
But, leading up to November....watch out.
My words of advice to America.....
Carry if you can. Train as much as you can. Choose a lawyer to call, if you can. If none of that, start heading to a boxing, Muay Thai, MMA gym soon and learn how to defend yourselves.
The Civil War was a conventional war between the Northern half and the Southern half, characterized by formal, uniformed armies.
A new civil war between Right and Left will resemble an insurgency. It will be a war of ambush and assassination. It will not be pretty.
They tell us, sir, that we are weak; unable to cope with so formidable an adversary.
But when shall we be stronger? Will it be the next week, or the next year? Will it be when we are totally disarmed, and when a British guard shall be stationed in every house?
Shall we gather strength by irresolution and inaction?
Shall we acquire the means of effectual resistance, by lying supinely on our backs, and hugging the delusive phantom of hope, until our enemies shall have bound us hand and foot?
Sir, we are not weak if we make a proper use of those means which the God of nature hath placed in our power. Three millions of people, armed in the holy cause of liberty, and in such a country as that which we possess, are invincible by any force which our enemy can send against us.
Besides, sir, we shall not fight our battles alone. There is a just God who presides over the destinies of nations; and who will raise up friends to fight our battles for us. The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave.
Besides, sir, we have no election. If we were base enough to desire it, it is now too late to retire from the contest.
There is no retreat but in submission and slavery! Our chains are forged! Their clanking may be heard on the plains of Boston!
The war is inevitable and let it come! I repeat it, sir, let it come.

Yeah.
I think we are on the road to some very bad news in this country.
They are going to go crazy if they lose.
They are going to go crazy if they win.
These are dangerous people.
They have guns too, and lots of people who are fine with killing. MS-13. The various black drug gangs. Do not underestimate them.
The fact that most liberals are concentrated in coastal cities is a godsend!
This fact means that no shots need be fired.
Just cut off transportation and energy to the coastal cities.
After 30 days the coastal cities will all be burning.
After 60 days the survivors will beg the heartland to save them.
Liberals will annihilate each other. No shots fired between liberals and patriots.
After the burning everyone will be happier in recognition of and in agreementwith what makes America great. We will then be good for another millenium or so.
“The commies waited to pull this crap until the last of the Vietnam draftees were too old to do much about it.”
The civil war has been going on for 50 years and our side hasn’t done anything but complain. Considering how hard it is to get us off the couch I don’t see much of war brewing. Unfortunately. Hopefully there are enough ex military men of fighting age (and shape) to get things started.
The Civil War was pretty defined by states/regions.
The current divide cannot really be defined
But it could be defined by region. Still a win for conservatives
“The issue will be the blue cities vs red countryside.”
The real bloodbaths will be in the suburbs, where the opposing sides literally live next door to one another. The cities will consume themselves, as they will be pretty much incapable of surviving without contributions from without. The countryside will survive, pretty much intact. But the suburbs will be the horror show.
So true.
“This civil war has been brewing for years. It’s coming and it will not be pretty.”
No, it won’t.
“if we have another civil war, it won’t be nice like the last one.”
That’s for damn sure.
It will more likely resemble the French Bloody Revolution.
Furthermore, it will began after the election if President Trump loses. If President Trump wins it will start in the cities where Democrat supporters are in greater numbers.
You are correct.
The suburbs will be where the majority of the fighting will take place.
The flash point(s) will be in the suburbs, as there will be nothing left of the cities.
“A new civil war between Right and Left will resemble an insurgency. It will be a war of ambush and assassination. It will not be pretty.”
True dat.
There is going to be a fight, lets get it started and over with.
“but it will end up being the coasts and middle fighting it out with huge organized armies.”
Speaking for my area of the country (PNW), how could Seattle and Portland put forth a “huge organized army”? That’s so ridiculous. Cut off coffee to Starbucks and electricity to Tesla charging stations and cut Amazon’s net connections and you’d stop them dead. You think gun stores are going to sell to libs once this starts? Plus, you go 50 miles inland from either Seattle or Portland and you’re in heavily-armed conservative country. Similar in California.
Revolutionary wars. There are concentrations of partisans, but conflict is widespread throughout the country.
French: pockets of monarchists, republicans
Russian: reds and whites
U.S. : loyalists and revolutionaries.
Civil wars tend to be more regional.
