Civil War Doomsday Clock

Careful now, peasants. If you uppity bumpkins have the energy to complain about your superiors, you should have energy to pull that hoe a little quicker.

Some slaves used those hoes to crack the skulls of their owners... just remember that.

Easy there, Rambo. He was joking.

I was talking to my cousin a few days ago about the likelihood of an actual armed response to all of this crap, and I said that unless a series of Governors decide to take full control over the state national guard and use it to establish new sovereignty, there won't be any real armed resistance against these people in an organized manner, because anyone who has the capability also has things to lose.

A more likely scenario is that these BLM/Antifa types ruin the cities and are allowed to get away with it, get cocky, and head to the suburbs and rural areas where they'll get blown away by Jethro and his neighbors. If it does get to that point, then I think you'll see people actually get together and form a militia-type group. But a real conventional war? Not gonna happen, in my opinion. Honestly, I'd prefer just a straight up Civil War Part Deux if there was no way out of it, but unlike the Southern States of the 1860s, we don't have militias that would have trained men in organization and warfighting.

This has been my prediction from the beginning. The animals can shit all over their zoo, but they can't do anything outside the confines of their cages. Moving into the Wild is suicide for them.

Next we see a genuine uproar over the electoral college, when Joe carries 100% of the city vote, and fails to win a state.

Cities going out of their way to antagonize ruralites is a really bad idea. Their beloved fad diets aren't tenable without being propped up by the agri-business machine. It's almost like they're so out of touch with where their food comes from that they think they can just push around ruralites as though they were serfs.

They've obviously never heard of Alaric.

They already control the food supply. Cargill is headquartered in Minneapolis, not Dry Gulch, NB.

It really is a bit of a stalemate, in military terms. The cities are nicely quartered and in control, and the rurals are spread out and entrenched. Neither can achieve dominance.

To the point of Civil War 2 - there is considerably less violence right now than there was in the 1960s. The difference is that now the far-left's craziest ideas are more accepted in the mainstream. I still believe this can, and should, be countered with open, civil discourse (even if that is one of things under assault by progressives).

From what I have read, the worst and most dangerous illiberal ideas are coming from the suburbs, and are not, in fact, being exported from cities into the rest of the country. In my very working-class, mostly Hispanic neighborhood in the Bay Area, nobody gives a shit about the culture war, and they certainly don't want agitators fucking up their businesses and cities. It reminds me of the small town in a very red county I grew up in, except people speak Spanish and you call the ice cream vendor a heladero.

I'm hoping this is the case, which means Trump will win big & take the House. However, where I live, Jesus Fucking Christ...

From my perspectives, it's suburban people who work in the city and control public policy to a certain extent. They make these policies, and at the end of the day retreat to their gated communities, removed from the consequences of their policies.

I doubt most are going to vote for Trump, but they aren't excited about Biden - but, really, is anybody?

All I know is, regardless of presidential preference, you need to go into the richest suburban neighborhoods to see BLM banners and shit.

The PNW might be different, but y'all getting way out in the tall grass these days, and I don't think the PNW is a representative sample. Dislike of Trump and lukewarm Biden support isn't either tacit or unambiguous support for Communism. You've never met a real commie-hater until you've talked to a Central or South American that has escaped a dictatorship. They'll probably still vote for Biden, though.

No doubt. There is nothing I hate more than hearing a rich suburbanite hold forth on fixing working-class neighborhoods, rural or urban. They're cloistered idiots blinkered by white-guilt, not dangerous Communists, though.

Often, these suburbanites are not the dangerous communists. Their white-savior complex leads them to being useful idiots for the actual Marxists. Whether or not they're all in on socialism is irrelevant, as they will bend the knee to the Woke Mob 100% of the time, whose leadership consists of dyed in the wool Marxists.
