What’s the difference between a civil war and a revolution to overthrow the rich?

    I will submit to you that the Second US Civil War has already started. They’re just using surrogates,” the Republican lawmaker said. The Indiana state senator added, “I submit to you that that’s accurate.”

    Guy sure likes to submit to whoever’s listening.

    How would a civil war be fought in the US in 2025? Where would the battle lines be drawn? It seems like if any skirmishes were to break out anywhere, the police and the military would come in and reestablish order very quickly. Maybe if there was fighting within the military itself, but then whichever side controlled the most strategically important military bases would win quickly and easily. I just don’t see it happening.

    I could see some kind of guerilla action, however. I could see assassinations, shootings and bombings, kind of like what happened in Northern Ireland in the 90s. Maybe cyber attacks as well.

      That type of diffuse, guerilla warfare is how modern civil wars generally go.

      The first several episodes of It Could Happen Here are revealing on this.

    The notion of a second U.S. civil war has been mentioned a few times in recent history, by those on both sides of the aisle

    And yet, if someone were to shoot him as an enemy combatant, they’d be prosecuted for murder. Curious.

    These chucklefucks have been screeching about civil war since Obama was elected.

    And these jabronis will be the first to fold like cheap lawn chairs when they figure out that when a civil war starts in earnest, it very quickly strips them of all the comforts they feel accustomed and entitled to.

    Ya know? If we had a way to have clear distinct war lines, I’d absolutely join a civil war. You’re telling me these guys want to challenge us to a fight till the death? Ok.

    The way I see it, either I’m fighting for a better tomorrow, or I’m dead and don’t need to suffer through maga’s amerikkka.

    I’m good with either result.

      I’m sure it is documented, but I’m just thinking now if families during the civil war were as divided over politics as people are today.

      My Dad loves Trump, I am on the other side. I would not fight in a war, as I would not fight against my family even though we do not agree politically.

    It’s a civil war to them since they think they are party of the same club as the rich, and the other half is just racist which again is also a civil war for them.

    Loser mentality is all maga and Republicans have.

    Anything to keep my guns in merica.

    No war. If anything you all started it and never want it to end.

    Imagine peace.
