It would be a coastal VS everyone else in the middle war, Republicans currently have the military at their disposal and the idea would be just to stop shipping anything to the coasts until they start eating each other.
So it would last about 2 weeks.
Not even worth a mini-series but will be entertaining if it happens nonetheless.

I did 20+ years in the USAF. War is ugly and brutal... I've seen it first hand. Those that call for civil war, have obviously never experienced war up-close...
Exactly, I have said this over and over myself.......
These idiots like Antifa and all these activist that are out causing trouble and talking about pushing this have NO idea.
And if it WERE to happen, they seem to fail to realize that a huge amount of the people they claim they are going to attack, are battle hardened war vets.........
Not a smart move
War, ultimately, is about will and determination. ANTIFA is nothing more than a mob of well paid thugs.
ANTIFA should probably avoid Idaho... and Montana, N. Dakota, S. Dakota, Utah, Nevada, Wyoming.... we tend to shoot, before asking about political motivations...
Yep im in Idaho myself, so far we havent seen any of that stupidity here, and were relatively close to Portland , so on one hand im surprised , on the other im not.
If they started something at the capital and started getting violent , the APB would go out on Facebook and the state building would be flooded with people putting an end to their bs

It will mostly be urban v. rural - large cities v. smaller ones and open areas.

It's been a while since we the last Civil War, so we should just ease in to it. Besides, we don't do war like we used to. Instead fighting equally matched opponents, we fight smaller countries after we weaken their economies with economic sanctions. Then we limit our military to drag the war out for the weapons manufacturers, followed by a lengthy occupation to benefit the "nation building" industries.
With all that in mind, I suggest the next Civil War should be The Union vs. Rhode Island. We can milk that War for years. Then The Union vs. Delaware, and we just keep working our way up to larger and larger states. We'll be able wage war on ourselves for at least a century, and then we'll be the United States again.
They would never take credit for killing Americans. That is the Modus operandi

We are in way north Idaho. I can damn near hit Canada with a 2-iron. If ANTIFA showed up here, we'd let the dogs handle it... ( two angry Belgian Malinois) then call Fish and Game to clean up the mess.
Mountain lions.
It was mountain lions, officer...

It is pretty telling where they are the biggest presence and problem. Check the local gun laws.

yeah because Democrats and the left are never violent.......did you just crawl out from under a rock? Most of the political violence thats happening is coming from the left right now.....
Also were you asleep through 8 years of Obama who destroyed Libya and Kaddafi and bombed innocent people there, in 2016 alone he Dropped over 25000 bombs in 7 countries.........
You guys really need to drop this bias bullcrap and start educating yourselves.......
I think you underestimate liberals. Both my grandfathers are liberal and one was at Omaha Beach Normandy and the other was in Korea. My uncle died in Vietnam. I'm in Michigan I know more gun toting liberals than I do Republicans. You're sadly mistaken if you think conservatives are the only ones that know how to use guns.

Let us hope not.
On one side there are college kids for the most part that are scared and crying .
On the other side there is a well-trained militia
It will not end well , but will be over quick
Maybe the shortest Civil War in the history of the Earth.

Your grandfathers being liberals would be considered conservatives at this point in history or at the least libertarian.....
Liberal even in the last 10 years has swung so far to the left its almost unrecognizable.......
My grandfather was a democrat his whole live and always voted that way, the last two elections hes voted either Republican or in this case wrote in Rand Paul.......
Liberals dont hold the same values now days as in yester year, in fact a vast swath of them admit they are pro socialism......and not socialism light, but full blown.......
its not the same
