Is Civil War Imminent?

Amongst even the most rational Conservatives I hear this mentioned now more than ever, that this cannot go on much longer. That there are two diametrically opposed Weltanschauungen that cannot exist together anymore. It's like two separate countries within one. That the animosity today is far greater than what little there was in Antebellum America. Conservatives cannot reason with nor stand Liberals & vice versa. Of course, rule number one of any revolution and/or civil war is to have a gun and we know how Liberals feel about gun ownership.

So, is this ready to blow the lid? I think if Hillary gets elected and the Democrats take back Congress it will be the spark as we know that under the tutelage of her the Obama era will look Conservative!!. Several SCOTUS vacancies will be up and just one vote will tilt the Court to chaos. Will Conservatives idly sit by while illegals swarm the land like locusts even more? Will they watch everything their forefathers fought & died for be pissed away by thankless ingrates and to be cast aside as 2nd class citizenry by those who will destroy the Constitution?

I think that that it will be worse than the first & far bloodier.

No, Civil War as in rebellion by force requires leadership and the will of the masses and Conservatives in the end have neither. That and organizing to fight must remain hidden and good luck with that Domestic Terrorism would put them under a Federal Prison without much of a problem there go the leaders.

 

Yes it can happen, it's called the Hatfield and McCoy's. Hate is a powerful aphrodisiac to some humans, and they can propagate others to empathize and react to that hate

 

If they start trying to get all of the guns there will 100% be a civil war. Guerilla fighters in the millions.

 

It's very difficult to reason with people whose views are not governed by facts, reason and rationality; whose ideas have been tried, found woefully wanting, yet are still proposed as solutions for what ails us.

 

There will never be a civil war again, its just not possible since there are no lines in the US anymore. If you go to Florida it looks the same as Arizona outside of the environment and people have relocated so much due to rapid transportation that there is not the amount of state loyalty you would need to have a civil war.

There could be mass uprisings nationwide I suppose but that would be more political than any armed conflict.

So no, there will be no civil war.

 

No. There aren't enough bigots and racists to sustain a civil war.
Most people aren't willing to tear the country apart just so that a bunch of intolerant, un-American *******s can feel better.
Real Americans prefer to work together to solve our problems.

 

The only thing that could split up America is the chaos of a financial meltdown. It won't happen because someone decides to start a war and as said, there are no defined geological boundries. A financial meltdown of American currency would cause states to have to step up and do something about the mess, maybe even leave the US. Texas is already taking steps to get physical possession of it's gold from the FED in New York just in case.

 

`
Doubtful to non-existent. What you see online is coward talk. Warmongers would love to see it, so long as someone else fights and dies. Americans would start missing their TV shows and celebrity news within a day or two. It would disrupt their video games, streamed movies and fantasy worlds.

Ain't gonna happen.

 

I agree with you if you are talking about liberals.

 

I don't see one happening unless someone attempts to ban firearms altogether. Then I think we will see uprisings on a massive scale, but I also think that the federal government would back off after serious incidents. So, no, I don't see one coming. But stranger things have happened in history.

 

Nope, considering that most Americans don't even vote, let alone have any interest in dying in a revolution - most Americans are pretty apathetic to political squabbles and care more about the Super Bowl than they do who wins the election, though you'd never realize it from posting on political forums.

 

Lol, this is very true. And is also very sad.

 

9 out of 10 people don't have a clue who Joe Biden or Rand Paul is, what Bengazi is, etc.

I could see it happening though if a state like Texas finally has enough of the federal government and officially move to secede. if one state does it, several others will follow, and that could set the stage for war.

 

seeing as how police couldnt handle a 100 rioters armed with rocks and a bad attitude I wonder how the left plans on dealing with a 100 million well armed people who have had enough of their crap?

 

Mexico would invade Texas if they no longer had the protection of the US military. There are not enough militia or guns to defeat a national army on their own.

 

If radicals alienated from America were serious about secession and not merely indulging in their inveterate bellywhinging, I would propose eschewing a repeat of Lincoln's Folly: Let them go!

The peaceful bifurcation of Czechoslovakia is the pertinent paradigm.

The US would then flourish in concert with the world's advanced nations, and the New Confederacy would go its own way. I seriously doubt that it would attempt to revive an economy and social structure based upon human slavery, but an interim period of open borders would be a humanitarian safeguard.

Following any voluntary migration in one direction or another, there must be strict border security and no more foreign aid from Washington.

 

Do you think we should sign a mutual defense pact or just let Nicaragua invade and kick the crap out of them?

 

the feds would be acting illegally if they attempted to do anything to citizens defending the constitution.

 

Considering the high costs of Washington's buerocracy and its Welfare programs, the Non-Union States will be quite pleased with letting go of the albatross that considers itself WAY too important. On the other hand, what's the Northern States to do without Southern Argiculture?

The North has industrialized too much and relies entirely on the South, yet pays so very little attention to Southern Politics. If the South were to break from the North, the North would collapse far quicker than the South. Because the North would actually have to develop an agricultural system that they've historically had little interest in developing.

Whereas the South just needs to economically develop and pursue policies to that economic endeavor. And as the North has shown us: It's far easier to develop infrastructure, then it is to develop argicultural programs. The North/Liberals will be surprised with just how much they'll miss the South.

 

I would avoid entangling alliances, and hope that Cuba and Nicaragua could reach an accommodation for shared sovereignty.

 

Kind of like what the north did to the south.

 

Yes, that was demonstrated previously - and the fact that seven of the top ten states that take more federal money than they contribute are Southern is an incentive for the North to repeat its mistake of 1861-1865!

One advantage for the new Confederacy is that most of their presidential aspirants are already worthy successors to Jefferson Davis rather than to Barack Obama.

 

Do you mean a civil war in which two (or more) factions fight for control of the government, or do you mean a war for independence, in which one part of a polity wishes to leave?

 

Not being an American, I am staggered by the topic of this thread...totally staggered....
