If CWII becomes a nightmare come true in America....the losses in Finland wouldn't cover the losses in a single major metropolitan area in the U.S.....

"Americans" and others who live here - with allegiances to a entity beyond America and it's Constitution are VAST in number....

Now that the Left can see abject failure of their attempt to steal America through the Courts and Politics -- they may become emboldened to act out violently...

That would be their stupidest move of all....
There are MANY ready to respond violently to that foolishness.

I think I remembered reading that if the first Civil War's losses were extrapolated to our present day population, deaths from a similar civil war today would be over 9 million.

Taken as a percentage of population, I think they'd be similar....remembering that the Finnish affray was blessedly short in duration. Most authorities set 25 Jan 1918 as the start of the conflict, though the first armed battles happened a week previously. The final Red-occupied stronghold at Viipuri fell on April 28-29 and mopping up continued until May 7, though there were many, many executions after that date.

With a total casualty figure of around 36,640, out of a population of some 3 million, they managed a casualty figure of about 1 per 1000.

Given the U.S. Year 2000 Census population figure of just under 300 million, that'd extrapolate here to more than a quarter million dead... but given a probable longer duration, and improved technologies for effectively performing the task at hand, I'd expect a butcher's bill of at least a million. Minimum.
