What does a civil war in America today actually look like?

Sabotage fighting in streets

Side Score: 4

Well considering the south eventually won the civil war long after it was officially over, I think the war would be more of a series of battles in courts and laws. Gerrymandering, gentrification, Jim crow, redlining, etc.

"Debunking the myth that the Civil War released the nation from the grip of oligarchy, expunging the sins of the Founding, it reveals how and why the Old South not only survived in the West, but thrived." Heather Cox Richardson

Overall, I am greatly surprised Biden won. I expected a landslide victory for Trump in Nov 2020. A few racial dog whistles and Trump should have had 90%+ of the white vote.

Hello S:

It's true.. We WON the battle, but they WON the war. We shoulda NEVER let them keep their racist and hate filled ideology. We won't make that mistake again..

We BEAT the Nazism out of the Germans.. We BEAT the kamakazi out of the Japanese.. And, we'll BEAT the MAGA out of the right wing.

It is simply Republicans and Trump Supporters plus people with common sense vs the insane (Democrats, hypocrites, toxic lgbt, BLM etc)

It's already in phase 1. People fighting at school board meetings about what books are allowed, how the kids should be taught, making CRT illegal to teach, etc. Raids on multiple politicians' homes.

Phase 2 is like this. We've seen modern civil wars, so we have examples. The obvious one is Ukraine. US states would just split off with or without permission and dare the US government to try and fight on 40+ fronts. Most of the soldiers would be conservatives and defect, and the US military would become a shell of itself lost in 40+ fronts with 1/3 of the manpower. They couldn't hold 45 states. They don't have enough men. And with a weakened military, the blue part of America probably gets taken by a foreign military. Alaska gets taken by Russia and Hawaii by China almost assuredly.

Hello:

It'll look a lot like Northern Ireland - lots of bombings, lots of shootings. It's like today, only MORE SO!

Yep, you got it sussed.

Northern Ireland on steroids.

''No warning'' bombs planted in restaurants crowded with civilian men women and children.

Police officers being shot in the back and blown to smithereens with roadside bombs planted by I.R.A., terrorist cowards who scurried off like rats into the darkness of the night once they had accomplished their dastardly deeds.

Indiscriminate slaughter of distraught citizens trying desperately to earn money with which to put bread on the table for their family.

The mitigating factor which lessened the severity of this undeclared war was the outstanding courage of the security forces, but particularly the much maligned police force of the, THE ROYAL ULSTER CONSTABULARY whose dedicated members discharged their duties even-handedly and without fear or favour.

I feel that such a conflict in the U.S.A., would be just as horrendous, only with a lot more noughts on the number of deaths as well as the destruction of businesses/jobs and infrastructure.

Despite THE IMBECILE with his insane, polarizing policies civil war in the U.S. must never happen.

Hello N:

Yeah... Like Civil War 1.0, Civil War 1.1 will spell the end of business as usual, and we'll have to declare sides.. Me? I'm on Americas side. You?

Ok, lemme put it another way since BOTH sides are gonna declare THEY'RE the true patriots.. So, call me what you will, I'm on the side that MAGA wants to kill..
