Civil war imminent?

33% think that a civil war will happen soon...

It’d be an interesting affair, for sure. I mean, one side has all the guns and the other side dosent know which bathroom to use

 

It wouldn't be an interesting affair. It would be a goddamn tragedy, and we'd never recover. People who get hard-ons over this idea don't think it through to it's final logical conclusion. It's not 1865 anymore. We're in this together, like it or not.

 

No. Civil wars aren't usually fought over social ideology. They're either fought over money or ethnicity. What's more likely is that this bullshit pushes us into some sort of totalitarian one party government with no check and balances, which will THEN lead us to an eventual civil war as the government pushes the people down to the point that they revolt.

 

I feel like it’s already happening. Just without guns. People are attacked all day, both verbally and physically, over their political views. Hell, we even have that crazy biatch Maxine Waters from Cali calling for her side to intentionally harass anyone that’s in the republican side.

 

Who is going to start the civil war? Have teams already been drawn up or do I need to wait to see who starts it and what they want?

I believe almost everyone would protect family and property from any threats and that's about it.

Any group that attempted to start this would have to gain enough traction and have enough strength to overcome a US Federal Gov't response to an insurgency...or prolong it enough to make that the deciding point for sides based on their increasing strength of a massive federal over-reach in response (cancelling elections etc.)

 

So I might get a deployment medal then...

We are in a civil war of sorts. The left is just taking small steps and winning small battles. Every time the right compromises on some small individual rights issue they are losing a battle, albeit a small one. This is all done for the greater good and progressive politics because the left thinks the right is a bunch of redneck hillbillies. The mistake is the elite leftist can’t see the forest for the trees in their massive towers.

 

Well...I'd prepare to be disappointed because it's likely to happen before most of us get off this rock.

 

HBO made a film, 'The Second Civil War' in 1997. Interestingly, the catalyst was immigration.

 

Anyone shocked that this has become a real discussion hasn't been paying attention.
When you have Leftards actually PHYSICALLY attacking people attending a Presidential rally and or shutting conservative speakers down at colleges, townhalls, etc. by threatening riots....it doesn't take a genius to see bad times are ahead of us.

 

The problem isn't the attacks, it's the inability of the police or even the general public to protect themselves against the attacks because the media would label them as racists/homophobes/etc.

 

The media is the left, for the most part. That has been true for many decades now.

 

Meh, I’m prepared to defend myself. I don't welcome it but I’m prepared non the less.

 

Si vis pacem, para bellum

 

Couldn't agree more - it's almost like history is an abstract concept these days. Ask people what typically happens to a nation's economy and currency when they are in a civil war - blank stares; ask them about the win loss record of the most powerful standing military in the world's history when engaging in conflicts with people that are militarily outmatched - blank stares; ask them do other nations usually join in with "advisers" money and weapons to serve their own agendas and prolong the carnage - blank stares; ask them how much geritol, ben-gay and TRT is going to be necessary to get all the old guys off the couch to actually join into the fight that they are itching for - blank fucking stares.

 

Exactly what I was driving at.

 

Civilizations are dynamic and all go thru the same thing

 

War is always ugly, and this one is not necessary. Not even close to that. I expect the most that will happen is some isolated incidents that I would more call terrorism. Not too unlike some of what has been going on. More civil unrest than civil war.

 

Edit: Somebody beat me to posting the cycle.

 

SHIT! You posted while I was posting... I got distracted by stupid day job mid-post.
