About the expected civil war.

[BigElCat]

In 1856, when the first Civil War was ramping up in the USA, we attacked China at the same time. Believe it or not.

Quote of the day:

“Each side accuses the other of hating America,” he writes, “which is only another way of saying that both hate what the other means by America.”

Stephen Marche, in his book "The Next Civil War."

This country needs to review the history of Kansas or Missouri the last time we were this divided and what happened.

Marche, in his review of the new 'Civil War' movie, notes that he's gotten questions about whether a civil war now would 'clear the air.' Given that if it was like the last one, it would kill six or seven million people, he finds such naïveté 'shocking' and 'sickening.' He hopes the movie will provide a dose of realism to counter that sort of thinking.

It would among reasonable people. The cult however is not populated with reasonable people.

When now confronted with someone seemingly gleeful at the thought of one.

I will ask them point blank......what makes you think will live to the other side unscathed if at all? That gold, food and guns you have now will be prime for the taking by all no matter if MAGA or Lib...

Once the war starts all bets are off.....

Few people are Rambo. If several people want what you have, they will get it. The only shot at security in an anarchy situation is a group of people defending a perimeter. To have that you have to work and play well with others.

Anyway, anarchy wont last. An army will roll through. Best hope they are a decent army, not a nasty one, out for revenge....

Sure sounds like having a rule of law, functional government and police force with a military would be the way to go.......STAY!
