I would tend to agree — although one very interesting aspect of that will be some of the “blue” states that are really “red” states. I’m thinking of PA or some others. If the country fractures, I know that Philadelphia will want to line up with NYC, Hartford and Boston, etc. Fine. But the rest of PA? Is western PA filled with metrosexual Liberals who hate guns? I don’t think so. PA is a blue state because of Philadelphia. If push comes to shove, states like that will not simply opt to join into some Blue Federation. I don’t know what will happen to the Liberal cities. They cannot survive without the surrounding countryside, and the countryside doesn’t want to be on their team anymore.

Also do not forget Pittsburgh, that must also be a LIBERAL city, on the level of Philadelphia. The rest of PA, minus those two cities are pretty much conservative.

Most of us agree then the political system is broken beyond repair??? Fractured states then, I see the major metro areas link up (from NE to NYC, Philly, DC, to ???) to form a “Coastal State(s)”. They have to because they don't have any one else.

Conservatives’ mission should be ‘Be vigilant, Be prepared, Preserve and Restore’. There is no way avoiding the upcoming conflict.

The Left had been clamoring for one civil war, but we all know it won't be started by ‘rightwing extremists’. Just be vigilant about Obama(Left/Media)’s "Reichstag Fire".

Let’s not forget “blue” Pittsburgh. Liberals like to say that Pennsylvania is Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, with Alabama in between. I’m proud to be in the “Alabama” in between. Locals call it the Republican “T”, which it is if you look at a map.

I think that civil war will be more complicated than state against state. More likely, it will be tax consumers vs. taxpayers, law abiding vs gangsters, and warlord vs warlord, city vs. suburb. Gangs, militias, armies, etc. It will be chaos. Civil order is breaking down. It will be completely gone.

Whoever can command the loyalty of the best and biggest armies will win, and if nobody can command a winning share, the civil war will go on indefinitely, and maybe result in a foreign conquest of part or all of the late, great, USA.

You bring up an interesting point. There are situations like that in a lot of states. Georgia, for instance is a red state, but in the city of Atlanta you have a huge blue population.

I think that a dire economic collapse (which more than likely would be one of the forerunners of a civil war) would sort out that problem, as there would be a huge inner city population die-off from starvation and riots.
