#1 A second American Civil War would be bloody and destructive on a scale none of us has seen in our lifetime within these borders. Even so, a Second American Revolution may be unavoidable. Constitutional government may require it.

A political party in total denial and dedicated to systematic obstruction, urban unrest, mall and store closures, epidemic drug abuse, college campuses in rebellion; I reckon we know where the fires will start.

#2 Note - first American Civil War was back in 1776, see - King's Mountain, loyalist vs patriots.

Unlike the second when America was largely a rural nation that grew its own, independent of a very elaborate infrastructure, the contemporary world is very dependent upon processes that can easily be disrupted which will result in the old four horsemen of the apocalypse consequences. The most susceptible being large urban areas which will become death traps without outside support. Think Hurricane Katrina or Andrew without the outside world coming to the rescue a dozen times over.

#4 A 'second' civil war would be short, and horrible for any minority communities that fall for the liberals siren call of uprising. After all one "faction" is very well armed, contains most of the military and police, and controls the food.

Sure a civil war could play out in multiple ways but most likely it's rioting in the inner cities, blackouts, a system to process refugees as they flee the quarantine, starvation in the inner cities, and a round-up of traitors for trial (and probably light sentences in the name of reconciliation).

A lot of good might come in the aftermath as everyone finally talks about WTF.

#5 (and probably light sentences in the name of reconciliation).

The last time around that got us the Klan and local suppression of civil liberties.

#6 The last time around that got us the Klan and local suppression of civil liberties. One person's civil liberty is another person's terrorism/fascism/insert favorite -ism here. Two Americas.

#7 Found this little ditty by Bill Whittle again on another website.

Similar in scope.

Worth the read

#8 ...(and probably light sentences in the name of reconciliation)

I'm past that. If I'm rounding up these traitors and fascists trying to flee, they will end up at the end of a rope or against a wall. No truce with these evil people.

#9 No truce with these evil people.

And "evil" is the correct term. There's no other way to describe anyone over the age of 30 with at least a high school education that supported HRC. I'm no longer willing to write such support off as "willful blindness"--there HAD to be some part of their soul who knew she was evil...and went along with her anyway.
