What will the coming civil war look like?

[UnseenParticipant]

I have right-wing “gun nut” acquaintances who dream of using their weapons to help wrest the country from the grip of the leftist “commies.”

I do think the next election will result in a kind of civil war, especially if Biden wins.* I do not see it being won ior lost n gun battles, even if there are gun battles. I see it being won or lost by men in business suits along the lines of what the Trump administration attempted to do last time. I’m not referring to the mob at the Capitol Building. That was a sideshow. I’m talking about the alternative elector schemes. It just might work given a sympathetic SCOTUS with a majority that clearly believes that the United States has been set on a bad course.

There’s another way it might happen. I call it “The Banana Republic Civil War.” This is where a military faction fed up with the “New Woke Military” takes over the government by force and sets up a new government, the election be damned.

Your thoughts?

* And don’t give up on him. Here are the thoughts of two respected prognosticators who think Biden looks like he’ll win in a landslide:

Historian Allan Lichtman with a great record of predicting elections:’

Geopolitical analyst Peter Zeihan sees a Biden landslide despite the debate:

You and I will probably vote for Biden even if he’s in a coma. Strangely, it’s not the progressives who are demanding Biden step down.Bernie Sanders and AOC are backing Biden.

It is difficult for me to come to terms with how many cognitively challenged people there are walking around. A three or four-word slogan is the limit of what they comprehend. Take my 290lb former neighbor. Biggest fear was queers, immigrants and red ants. Not the high blood pressure or the imminent heart attack that killed him.

I look forward to the right wing militias uniting to bring down the next democratically elected POTUS while the orange man gets fitted for his new orange jumpsuit. I am sure they will trash the 100,000 active U.S. marine corps troops that will turn up that afternoon.

Yes, who could forget such a pretty mouth. Nero played the fiddle as Rome burned but MAGA have dueling banjo’s. Bet you are playing that tune in your head now 🙂

He was known as Fred the Indian.

I was 16 and had volunteered to clean 5000 compact fridges during the summer. One day Fred stops by while i am working. He was in an old pick-up truck. So this warehouse in an industrial park was all by itself. Fred pulls out his bow and a target and he is half hammered but amazingly accurate. He says Glen lets get out of here.

An opportunity to defeat the tedium? Hell to the yes. He finds an abandoned dirt road that was not particularly passable but we went over it. Moonshine got me wasted lickety split. Dueling Banjos was playing. So that tune stuck in my head. Later i heard my uncle play it badly. And then that movie…ya know the one.

Years later Fred stops by my home. He is reformed. Doc gave him 6 months to live if he did not quit drinking. And even though this guy Fred is an atheist antiauthoritarian keenly aware of history of his people and the US he becomes a guard at a prison all straight laced and shit…

@ Jake

I want some of whatever it is you were on when you wrote that.

Trump, who claims on the one hand that he has “no idea” what Project 2025 is all about or who is behind it is actually lying (and not just because his lips are moving). It was actually largely written by members of his administration. Listen to this dark threat/prediction by the head of the Heritage Foundation, predicting that either it will be implemented or there will be blood.

Maybe Jake is writing a book.
