What Would a Second US Civil War Really Look Like?

An interesting video laying out the historical comparators of US civil strife as well as why US civil strife could be different.

One only needs to look at when the Talibundys took over the wildlife reserve to see how it will end.

At this moment? A US "civil war" would look like cowardly attacks on the softest of soft targets, in an effort to terrorize the population into giving in. Much like what Putin does in Ukraine, killing children in hospitals.

My hope and expectation is that these monsters would be given up, in many cases, by their own families. One or two would be strung up from lamp posts by their own communities.

Kamala's performance last night made all of this less likely.

No matter what your gun collection looks like, how do you fight a tank? (answer: you don't)

You use an IED, stupid.

"The left", with a few noteworthy exceptions, have the collective tactical knowledge of a panda.

What I found most interesting is that we don't have the usual divisions of ethnicity or religion. If it kicks off, it'll be entirely political IMO.

Which should scare you given the fact that voter rolls won't be hard to get by either side. You could be a target simply for your voter registration and online comments and activity. Or an event you attended or speech you listened to.

I always thought it would be like Ireland and the IRA, but worse because of the massive amount of information on everyone of us that's available with relative ease.

Lots of fat, toothless dead bodies.

MAGA's would get "droned" out of existence quickly.

I don't mind the pictures, but could you please not destroy the formatting of the whole page?

It was kinda worth it.
