Thoughts in preparation of this possible but hopefully unlikely scenario:

Where are the militia’s and grassroots organizations that would counter a communist takeover and fight gun confiscation?

What will happen when large urban areas are cut off from food, power, and supplies?

What will happen when the national transportation system and power grid is locked down?

Who will control the banks and money flow?

What would happen when federal income subsidies, such as medicare, social security, and welfare cease to exist?

Which way will the military go? We already have an idea about the leadership of most federal security agencies.

How could local manufacturing be maintained?

Blockades and foreign intervention?

Its better to control and fix the current problem now.

This will end only when their hurt is much greater than our hurt.

War only ends when the last S.O.B. willing to die for his cause is killed.

I disagree. After the election, Trump would have no remaining reason to restrain his response. Plus it would serve no purpose.

Do you remember the Antifa riots and anarchy the dsy after the elections in November 2016?

This whole thread reads like a bunch of people that need to see a shrink, honestly.

When BLM/Antifa tell you they want to "defund the police" and create widespread anarchy in America as we've ween for several months, maybe we should listen more closely.

Why should we listen to the rabble? Because the "Communist" (time to quit beating around the bush and call them who their heroes are) politicians at the local, state and national levels strive to block the rule of law at every turn while reinforcing mob rule. The anarchists and their political supporters demonstrate beyond question that they really do want to destroy America and "fundamentally transform" it into something else. (Now, where have we heard that before?)

If groups are rioting in the streets, burning and looting at will demanding the destruction of American and you don't beleive them I'm starting to question who is crazier. You or them?

Madam Mao among others was arrested after Mao died If I remember correctly tried and convicted. One faction at her trial wanted her sentenced to the Death of a Thousand cuts. I don’ recall if she was or not, but I think that due to her age she was allowed to die a natural death.There were millions of deaths from the Cultural Revolution and the Great Leap Forward after it. I recall reading about it now and then.

If the left makes a hit, we WILL make a hit - twice.

Talk is cheap.

Look what happened to Michelle Malkin on Sunday.

So far, no retaliation about it except talk...

Even so, chance favors the prepared mind. Or personal ordnance depot...

I agree with your assessment. In particular I think the “troubles” of Ireland and Northern Ireland are in our future.

Well, I’m wondering whether to learn Russian. Or Arabic.

Have you considered that Chinese might more useful?

```
Russian is just behind English as the most difficult language to learn. For starters: every word declines, correct grammar is essential, each word no matter how many letters has only one accent, almost any named thing can be pronounced as an abbreviation and strung together with other abbreviations. Then there is the alphabet and the slang ...

One could get a head start and learn Chinese, or, for the really bold, learn the most difficult language there is: Sanskrit.

Arabic just looks hard, and in the future, will be overrun by more competitive languages and cease to exist by the time NCC-1701 is commissioned.

I think many here are banking on them being taken out in a very public way to alert the rabble, the media, the Mothers of Portland, etc. that the response to their nonsense is on its way.

Did it occur to you that perhaps it's you that needs to see a shrink?
You remind me of the Jews in Germany when Hitler and his goons were busy beating up Jews, destroying their property, siezing their businesses and killing them on occasion.
The street smart Jews saw what was coming and got the heck out of Germany.
The clueless, naive ones like you kept saying to themselves, “ This will blow over”..right until they ended up in the gas chambers. All 6 million of them.
You've got to be living in a hole somewhere in the mountains not to see what is going on.

I have to agree with that. Donald J. Trump ran for office because this was the last chance to save this Republic. He is doing his best to reclaim our govt and has shown just how much jeopardy this Republic is in. Either the Deplorables get him reelected or there will be an immediate armed conflict. War or the equivalent gorilla warfare, in all of it’s manifestations, is the only possible outcome if Pres Trump is not reelected. Nothing left to lose for Americans who love their country and who will be targets of a communist democrat party takeover of the United States of America. Pretty stark reality facing American voters in November.

“So CWII won’t be a civil war, it will be an asymmetric gorilla war.”

That’s my take.

Nope.
