what would a civil conflict look like

Yeah, there are no decent people in the Democrat Party.
I must disagree....there are warm, generous. devout people....who are under long held opinions about those evil Nixonian republicans...and how Johnson's Great Society helped everybody... They go to church, have a picture of Jimmy Carter building Habitat homes on their den wall, and want to be sure our "democracy" is not undermined by those racist MAGA thugs who beat up that nice TV boy in Chicago.

So...there ya go. As dull as a cinder block, detached because they think their TV remote is also their phone, and they have voted Dem since before JFK.

I stand by my assessment.

IF it ever came to a fight, I've often observed it will be a fight where one side is armed to the teeth and the other cries if you use the wrong pronoun.

On the other hand, right now it's leftists who are able to be violent without any pushback.

The Leftists are *willing* to be violent; in fact they relish it. That's the key - the want-to. They may cry over pronouns but they also relish the thought of literally gutting your grandmother because she misgenders someone.

I like to think that the Right simply doesn't get all rioty at the drop of a hat; they're not the ones who will converge on someone having dinner and force them out of the restaurant, then attack the restaurant for hosting their mortal enemy. The Right doesn't threaten to kidnap and rape someone's child because of politics. That's almost exclusively Leftist territory. But perhaps they would stand up if it came down to defending our country instead of wasting it being a criminal nuisance.

Also, I think about where the vast majority of Righties live: not in the dystopian Socialist hellholes where these progs congregate. In our communities nobody gives a sh*t about pronouns or your race. The handful of trans people go about their business and assimilate into the community. The Left doesn't make trouble in Right communities - they stay for the most part in their own bubble where they know they can get away with their crimes. Because when they try that chit in Right cities they get their heads busted and shut down right quick.

But the Right needs leadership. Trump was that leadership and I don't see anyone in the GOP who can take his place. Maybe Ron DeSantis, but he has young children and a lot to lose, so I couldn't blame him at all if he didn't have the stomach for the fight.

The are bullies ... a few are brave enough .. that murder 2 yrs ago in Portland that gunned down a Trump Supporter .. the police end him

by and large these AntiFa types are only brave in packs, any real oppssition and they will collapse like a wet paper bag

My biggest worry about internal conflict is what or who comes afterward. I see no Washington, Lincoln or anyone of their stature waiting in the wings. There are too many people that are power hungry and will only try to get what they can for themselves. I hope we don't have to go down that road.

A lot depends on the 2024 election. If Democrats cheat again it must be dealt with or the country is forfeit.

And dealt with harshly.

The movie The Postman comes to mind.

Why are you folks so obsessed with civil war? Go for it, go storm an Apple store or whatever it is you think you need to do.

It’s like you don’t think you’ve already put us in a civil war, you’re taking away the rights of women, giving more and more tax cuts to the wealthy, and now threatening the right to personal privacy. Decent people will not stand for this attack on our personal liberty.
We are going to sell loosies on the street corner and shoot up fentanyl until the democrats build monuments to our greatness.

Then we are going to join the great Civil Crab Warz for civility where women have the right to rights. Afterwards will tax the rich and wealthy who make $40k a year, those rich bass-turds! Then we will threaten the privacy of all SCOTUS Supreme Chalupa judges with tacos. Why? Because damn it, We are decent people!!!

I have
Pretty Much .. like historical China regional warlords
labeled it "Neofeudalism" in that it is a socio-economic system that tries to secure a region, the citizens fear traveling outside of it, and the Lords (Sheriff's or respected veterans) patrol the boundaries & expel nuisances. It is only a transitional stage though...this pattern will run out of necessary resources and either network or become bullies (Mad Max style).

Maybe we should get the ground game going early so others can see how this works...Gilligan,...what type of fortification are you considering? Can we get a planning meeting in the next few months?

I’ll be there for the celebration when the drawbridge goes up.
