About the expected civil war.

[RickeyM]

A question about the civil war some are itching for. I'd like to know what or who are they going to go to war against? In going to war you've got to attack something so I really, for general interest, wonder what's in their crosshairs? In addition what's the actual goal? Should they and their forces "win" the conflict, what then?
Or is the whole idea simply to shoot at and shoot up something they have a grievance against?
With the upcoming election and "you know who" claiming (again) if he doesn't win it will (again) be the result of fraud this question crosses my mind in it's early morning wonderings.

Start to ask those who are wishing hoping for a civil war this, what makes them think they will be the winners or even make it to the end?

How ignorant of history, short sighted and selfish they seem to be. History is full of examples of those starting a revolution ending up dead!

And what's really dumb about the whole idea of a civil war is that the divide is largely between rural and urban areas. Are the rubes going to attack cities despite the fact they want nothing to do with urban life?

The civil war that is being talked about is cultural rather than ideological.
Anti education, anti climate change, pro gun, etc., and this war is being funded by the American Oligarchs with the understanding that their taxes will be held low. But in order to hold their taxes low, social welfare expenditures must be slashed, thus the assault on social welfare in every form including Medicaid, Social Security, programs to help children. As for limiting education for future generations, that is already in place.

And of course, Jesus will save you, just don't ask how.

The OP is asking for the radicalized right to make sense. It doesn't. But when the time comes, thr enemy will be anyone who tries to oppose them being in charge of everything.

Much like any who complain about how life treats them. Placing the blaming onto someone or something over taking the time to seek the truth. Much easier to blame then to admit your failings.

My wife left me .... she's a ...... Or maybe it was you!

Got fired today..... they were giving my job to a....fill in the blank... Or maybe it was you!


Self employed and payed minimally, into SS all those years. Living pay check to pay check robbing Peter to pay Paul..... Can't live on SS or afford insurance.... got to be those immigrants or someone else at fault....


Let's take over!

And "I'm afraid we're going to need to kill them out," them being the fags in that quote, if you recall it. But while the them part is variable, the kill out part is constant.

It won't be a civil war in the normal sense of the term, just a fractioning of the social order to the point 'martial law' is declared.

The deciding factor will be 'who' gains control of the military forces involved.

That person will be a temporary dictator.

No civilian group will be involved in that.

Of course the military is going to be tied up fighting a middle east war, and proxy wars all around the globe.

Probably comes down to the DHS; whoever controls the DHS will control the CONUS.

They'll be abducting the young bucks to fight in the foreign wars. Maybe drop us old guys out of an airplane.
