IMO Canada would be on our side, and probably Mexico would side with us, so the South is surrounded. Nobody wants to be them.

(115,869 posts)There are MAGAts in all states, as there are also Democrats in all states. To the extent there's a regional division it's mostly urban vs. rural.

US military?
Are they just going to start shooting unarmed people like me?
They are losing the war of ideas and will not win with rifles and pistols.
So sad. Can't stop thinking people with dumb shit like banning books.
We will stand in line all day to vote if we have to.

(1,927 posts)There wouldn't be clearly defined geographic lines. It won't be north vs south. Everywhere would be a front line. It would look more like the Troubles in Northern Ireland at best or a sickening mix of early 90's Balkan wars and Syrian/Libyan/Iraqi civil wars of the past decade at worst. Beyond shutting their borders down and maybe providing material or financial support, neither Canada or Mexico is going to get involved. Nobody will get involved like that because the rest of the world will have to deal with the fallout of it. Repercussions of an actual US civil war would be far and wide. Everyone else would be too busy dealing with their own problems to intervene here.

"Attack."
"Really? You're fired."

(5,525 posts)They dream of their idol, Drumpf, going on a violent revenge tour. Of course, they only want this if they can watch from the comfort of their homes, with the idea Conservative gun-owning patriots would have a quick victory whilst massacring The Libs.
Its a childish fantasy, and anyone who knows anything about wars or civil wars realizes how unbelievably stupid they are. It barely deserves acknowledgment.
You cant have a civil war without two funded sides with constantly refreshed supply lines, cash to burn through, support of the population, and a shared goal.
Hicks with their shot-gawnz playing soldier dont really count. You would need a governor or something to commission an army with outside support. Then, they would get flattened with half the cities in their state. Not sure if they realize, but, wars are tremendously expensive and destructive.
