Why do Freepers delude themselves about the possibilty about a Civil War? For a variety of reasons, but perhaps the most popular is the idea that we can turn the tide of abject tyranny to liberty in our lifetime.
We have the will, weather doesn’t matter, we don’t have the way (equipment) nor do we have the terrain...as a civil war would require front lines and geographic goals.
Civil unrest? Sure. Civil war? It would be short and decisively bad for our side.
