Are We Headed Toward a Second Civil War?

Therefore, when someone says civil war is coming, they cannot be taken seriously.

Frankly, it's you that cannot be taken seriously. You make incorrect assumptions about "war," then spin that into how you imagine conflict unfolding.

I say (seemingly for the 100th time) you lack imagination.

With the highest quality of life and most wealth in the world in the history of modern man, there is absolutely zero chance.

I'm amazed at those who believe they know the minds of others and imagine they all think alike.

(IMO) CW will begin when conservatives/patriots observe the Rule of Law is no longer in force, or that a valid election can no longer be held. They will correctly conclude that if the Left is no longer bound by law or custom, neither shall they be.

There are no neutrals, no civilians.

That is a civil war of sorts - a 4th generation conflict. No front lines, like in the past. That kind of civil war is the one that I least expect.

That is the one I most expect.

I think that perhaps I was not clear: The CW that I least expect is one with front lines like the first one . I do expect 4G warfare, if there is anything.

My observation years ago was that it really didn’t matter who won, Trump or Hillary because our nation had become “ungovernable” and no one would accept the outcome of that or any future election. Who ever won would have to become a dictator to avoid chaos. We just lucked out it happened to be our guy so if we grasp the opportunity we can make it our tyranny. But the old Republic of the USA is already dead.

You left out "You're a poopyhead!"
Such powerful arguments.

I'm amazed at those who believe they know the minds of others and imagine they all think alike.

I'm amazed that there are people who doubt that there are other folks that are in fact more capable and intelligent, and able to extrapolate to high certainty of well understood dynamics.

Be sure to let us know when you think we're in a hot civil war, because beyond a few Ruby Ridges here and there, no one else will notice.

Oh, I think you'll know.

[TexasGunLover]

Oh, I think you'll know.

Just in case, please post to confirm. Appreciate it.

You left out "You're a poopyhead!"

Did you have a point?

Poster after poster opines that since it's not practical to line up opposing armies in a field, civil war cannot happen. Others imagine that since the Idle Class is fat and happy, no civil war can happen, since it hasn't ever before. Of course when one looks at the leadup to the Revolutionary War and the Civil War, deprivation was not a factor. If anything, the Founding Fathers were the most prosperous; also true of the confederates.

Some will be participants, some will be witnesses, some will be fodder. It's not necessary to be interested in war for war to be interested in you.

We're on the road to subjugation. What will you do?

To imagine that war can only take limited and familiar forms is to ignore the last 75 years of history and today's headlines. To suggest some might lack imagination is if anything an understatement.

[gogeo]

Yes.
