Glenn Reynolds: The Civil War Has Already Started.
At some point a critical mass of people will get woke to the fact that this is no longer a unified country and make adult decisions about what to do about it. Until then, we'll be a country of battling, drunken low-rent family members where no one has figured out yet that they can, and should, leave the toxic environment.Marriage counselors say that when a couple view one another with contempt, it's a top indicator that the relationship is likely to fail. Americans, who used to know how to disagree with one another without being mutually contemptuous, seem to be forgetting this. And the news media, which promote shrieking outrage in pursuit of ratings and page views, are making the problem worse. What would make things better? It would be nice if people felt social ties that transcend politics. Americans' lives used to involve a lot more intermediating institutions -- churches, fraternal organizations, neighborhoods --that crossed political lines. Those have shrunk and decayed, and in fact, for many people politics seems to have become a substitute for religion or fraternal organizations. If you find your identity in your politics, you're not going to identify with people who don't share them. The rules of bourgeois civility also helped keep things in check, but of course those rules have been shredded for years. We may come to miss them. America had one disastrous civil war, and those who fought it did a surprisingly good job of coming together afterward, realizing how awful it was to have a political divide that set brother against brother. Let us hope that we will not have to learn that lesson again in a similar fashion.He's referring to an idea I've mentioned before myself, that there are "Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse" that predict divorce in a couple. Those Four Horsemen are criticism, defensiveness, stonewalling, and contempt. All of which are singularly present in modern American "discourse." The county is toxic. It's time to split it up, For the Good of the Children.

I do not like people who hate me.
And there is a lot of hate out there for me. Because I agree with PDT.
I see no way to cross that divide. I just want to eat at a restaurant. Watch a movie. See a ball game. Live a life without having to worry about some kind of political statement coming out of it.
That path is closing if not closed.
Sucks.

OTOH the hashtag "walkaway" is trending on twatter.
If you don't "do" twatter, "walkaway" is when avowed Democrats leave the party and shift to the right.

I haven't seen to many amicable divorces,. Ace, although my mother seemed to have one from her first husband. No children. She didn't ask for alimony because she was working. She stayed on good although distant terms with him. But what would an amicable divorce look like in this situation? Every states has a measure of leftists and a measure of conservatives.

How does this go down though?
Because I do think we are very close to this, but my guess is it will be unsavory elements that align themselves with "conservatism" that will be taking the first actual shots.
Think something like Charlottesville but far bigger.
I want a national, peaceful divorce, I don't want to align myself with certain groups that will likely be first in the fight.

Dividing it up will be easy. Pull out the map of the counties who voted red and blue.

In short, blockade the top 25 urban centers in America and war over.

We are in a cold, or soft, civil war.
We are total losers if we cannot fix things without dividing up the country or bloodshed.

The best thing for the children would be to see the adults get along and put things back together.
These war crys are from frustration and overdosing on news.
Also, we break apart, get ready for other countries to swoop in. Caliphate within a few years.

It is not a civil war, but a social divide. Our enemies do not live in some other place, but right next door and down the street. There are some general areas that are better than others. If we take the rural areas and cut off the cities from power and food, they will eat themselves. That would be a real war of a sort, maybe vaguely like the Spanish example in the 1930s.

the divide is not so great as everyone thinks. the polling numbers on immigration that were discussed earlier suggest as much.
there are some figureheads at the top of the parties that are divisive and a good number of people on the left but they are not the majority and their power is waning.
hang tough and this will all work out eventually.

The left sponsors coup attempts and election shenanigans for trivially low stakes. They would rather nuke this country to ash than lose the vast resources that fuel their profligacy. Hopefully the military will never permit it, but I imagine there is at least one nuclear sub staffed with "reliables" for such a purpose.
Of course, dense urban areas have a lot more to fear from nukes than rural spaces, so that is the one reason I can afford optimism: they have far more to lose from retaliation. Anyways: no divorce. Any President who loses California will be replaced instantly by someone who demands it back, even the GE. At best I would countenance offering China an autonomous city in exchange for their acquiescence.

This is bullshit.
The inability to get along with "each other" comes from one side, and one side only.
We didn't lose our collective shit when Obama was elected. Sure we criticized him--in sometimes unpleasant terms, and we all vented here at the AoS, but how many of us had to seek therapy, or ended friendships, or went to pussy riots or chased Obama supporters out of restaurants? And how many elected officials or conservative pundits told us to do that?
No, this is just the first of MANY such "think" pieces we will be subject to between now and 2020 and the under current of ALL of them will be, "If we are really serious about ending this hatred, we really should get rid of Trump."
That's what this is. They can't accept the fact that THEY hate US without pretending that WE hate THEM.

I do not believe we are headed for a divorce.
The left is like the little girl who keeps poking Daddy. The left assumes that Daddy will remain a gentleman and not deck the little shit for misbehaving, because she is so cute and small. She is wrong.
The right is like Daddy. He puts up with some childish nonsense, and even tolerates a fair bit of dissent, but at the point of great harm, he will provide correction.
I firmly believe that President Trump is the beginning of that correction. I also firmly believe that the American people prefer the rule of law, and the use of fairness and intellect (i.e., adults in charge) to the free-for-all shitstorm that the leftists have tried to foist upon us, since the dawn of communism.

Fenalon: Most divorces are acrimonious (if my experience is any guide) because one of the participants is profoundly broken. Or as I like to say: the parasite never wants to give up the host. So they fight to keep what they have.
If two adults divorce, then it can be handled in an adult manner.

27 I haven't seen to many amicable divorces,. Ace, although my mother seemed to have one from her first husband. No children. She didn't ask for alimony because she was working. She stayed on good although distant terms with him. But what would an amicable divorce look like in this situation? Every states has a measure of leftists and a measure of conservatives.

Couples where one has an attitude similar that of the left towards the right don't have an amicable divorce. Been there and done that. Attacks during the long and drawn out process of the divorce and continuing for several years afterwards.

He's referring to an idea I've mentioned before myself, that there are "Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse" that predict divorce in a couple. Those Four Horsemen are criticism, defensiveness, stonewalling, and contempt.
Cuckolding doesn't even make the top 4? Wow.
All of which are singularly present in modern American "discourse."
Meh. Discourse isn't the problem. It's the fact taht leftists hate America - they hate the idea of America ... they hate the very idea of the nation-state. Now, that is a serious problem. When one spouse doesn't even believe in the concept of marriage ...

Posted by: Ace of Spades at 05:30 PM
My county is okay. The country is suffering from a problem of having a huge percentage of America-haters. There's nothing that can be done with them. THey hate the country - they certainly hate the county - and they hate us. Of course, they hate themselves, too, and are really pushing for the end of modern Man.
They are certainly not my countrymen. Easy call, as they don't even believe in the idea of a country. I have been pushing for a national divorce from these lowlifes for a very long time. It was clear when they voted the Indonesian Imbecile in that they were moving full steam ahead to national destruction (if not international devastation of advanced civilization).
Since this is on an urban/ex-urban split I am pretty much in favor of assigning them some sort of reservations in the urban areas they control and are mostly located in. That's the best deal they'd get from me, though.

I think it's what VDH touched on in that article yesterday. The elite don't live in the areas affected by their policies. They don't live with the crime the illegals bring. They don't lose their jobs when the labor market is flooded. If we can take that to their homes, they might feel differently.
When I have to deal with someone on Facebook whining about the children being separated, I say "Why do you hate people of color? They are the ones that can't find jobs. They are the ones affected by the crime in their neighborhoods". I fins this seems to shut them up.

Here's the problem with any national breakup:
Let's say there's some new magical map that gets drawn up, and you have the Liberal States of America and the Conservative States of America. Yay! We're broken up!
The problem is that the liberals remaining in the CSA won't leave and won't accept it. Maybe some conservatives stay in the LSA, too, but they'll accept their position. Hell, maybe most people don't move anywhere. But I KNOW that the liberals who remain will continue to agitate. Public policy fights are not over until Liberals win, and then it's settled. Just ask them.
I mean, just look at gun control. You have California and New Jersey and Maryland and Massachussetts, which practically ban private gun ownership entirely. And then you have Tennessee and Kentucky and Texas and Arizona which practically hand you a pistol when you cross state lines. You can move from a gun control nightmare (Arizona) to a gun control dream (California) without much effort at all....but do liberals do that? No. They spend their time in AZ advocating to criminalize taking a friend to the range and magazine bans and scary looking gun bans and the like.
That will continue, because their thought is "Why should I move to somewhere that has everything I want when I could just make you cousin humping rednecks fall in line?"

If you want a war, just turn off the welfare payments to a couple of Blue Bubble Cities. They will have a full scale war on their hands while we watch. After a few days you occupy these cities and you tell the other Blue Cities you're next if you piss us off.

The crazies are relatively few in number. As someone up above suggests, maybe ten percent. Most people are OK and aren't going to go nuts. What we need is a way to peel off those ten percent who are guano crazy and put them somewhere safe for their own protection. Like Antarctica. They could conduct a coup against the penguins.

Nah. Oldest taffy yank at the HQ aside from ketchup/mustard on hot dogs, but still, nah.
People are already self-sorting, in a hundred ways. Moving to TX, AZ, TN, etc. from blue hellholes is the top of the chart. As you move down, a million variations of decreasing effort or impact, like not patronizing certain brands or businesses (think what happened to Target, hopefully what is happening to SBUX, hopefully but not likely will happen to AA, UA, et al), or dropping acquaintances/friends/even family who are mooonbat.
More Hodgkinson incidents? Sure, perhaps. But they'll be "incidents".
Not a shooting, geographic, or formal war. Just more of the same, what we have now.

Our previous civil war was quite unusual, historically, in that it was geographically based. Because of that, we are conditioned to think of civil wars in those terms, but that is not accurate. Any physical war today would be more like the Spanish Civil War of the 30's, or the English Civil war of the 1600's, where the opponents lived all mixed in with each other and fought a bitter winner take all battle for the whole enchilada. That is actually what most civil wars are like, which is why it's a good idea to try and keep from starting one if you can.

How do people not see that!?
Who does it benefit? Who wants it?
The people out of power want back in. This is a way to achieve it. I've written posts on this before, so I'll spare you the rest.
The Resistance Complex wants a war. They have been pushing it, gaslighting us, since last June. it has not worked. Everyday people are too smart. They know they are being baited.
I like Glenn, but it makes me sad to read things like this. Or Prager (who I don't read), or Ace.
You are being played. You are being used. They want a civil war.. why would you give it to them or stoke the idea.
Plus, I like butter, sugar, cofveve, and all other comforts too much.
i also do not want a Caliphate and Mexican Invasion, do you? Cause that's what you will get. People, please think this through before stirring the pot.

But it's wrong for our side to despair - the left is actually extremely top heavy, with very little effective grass roots support. If you were to eliminate the top 1000 leftists in media, government, universities, and business, they would be totally decapitated and unable to function at all. That's not much of a civil war. Of course, if taking out the first 1000 names doesn't discourage, keep on going. The more public, the better. Imagine George Clooney in front of a firing squad, that'd get some attention.

Here's the problem with any national breakup:
Let's say there's some new magical map that gets drawn up, and you have the Liberal States of America and the Conservative States of America. Yay! We're broken up!
The problem is that the liberals remaining in the CSA won't leave and won't accept it. Maybe some conservatives stay in the LSA, too, but they'll accept their position. Hell, maybe most people don't move anywhere. But I KNOW that the liberals who remain will continue to agitate. Public policy fights are not over until Liberals win, and then it's settled. Just ask them.
I mean, just look at gun control. You have California and New Jersey and Maryland and Massachussetts, which practically ban private gun ownership entirely. And then you have Tennessee and Kentucky and Texas and Arizona which practically hand you a pistol when you cross state lines. You can move from a gun control nightmare (Arizona) to a gun control dream (California) without much effort at all....but do liberals do that? No. They spend their time in AZ advocating to criminalize taking a friend to the range and magazine bans and scary looking gun bans and the like.
That will continue, because their thought is "Why should I move to somewhere that has everything I want when I could just make you cousin humping rednecks fall in line?"

But you take like 4-5 ultra blue cities out of the mix, America is a MUCH different country.

to me, the dirty agitprop is a leftist tool. But they indeed infiltrated so many of our institutions, that they were pretty successful at dividing us.
Still, 70+% want the border enforced and less legal immigration. And most feel DC is a corrupt cartel, and that the big banks and leveraged traders cheated by getting massive bailouts and manipulation of markets. And are the deplorables really a bunch of racists, or is that also just a Dem talking point that street level Dems don't really believe?
People have been taught to hate Trump yet agreed with his general policies, and now even his approval rating keeps going up, using even the contrived polls. That in the face of the constant blitzkrieg from the (11% approval) MSM.
There is still some hope ... an election of people that are not establishment would help a lot, and the MSM is being displaced by alternative media. The oligarchs can't conscript a whole army, so we the masses could win. The left actually seems to be in desperation mode ... losing their grip on the proles.

And most feel DC is a corrupt cartel, and that the big banks and leveraged traders cheated by getting massive bailouts and manipulation of markets. And are the deplorables really a bunch of racists, or is that also just a Dem talking point that street level Dems don't really believe?
People have been taught to hate Trump yet agreed with his general policies, and now even his approval rating keeps going up, using even the contrived polls. That in the face of the constant blitzkrieg from the (11% approval) MSM.
There is still some hope ... an election of people that are not establishment would help a lot, and the MSM is being displaced by alternative media. The oligarchs can't conscript a whole army, so we the masses could win. The left actually seems to be in desperation mode ... losing their grip on the proles.

Just because the vocal minority has the megaphone(msm), does not make them the majority.
Starting with the people smacking down Bush and the Gang of 8 immigration capitulation, then the Tea Party, and now Trump, the silent majority are Woke, to use a word popular with the minority.
If Trump plays his cards right, and shines a light upon the corrupt-o-fucks and exposes them to the point of undeniability, there is a small chance of peaceful resolution.
But knowing actual human history...

"America had one disastrous civil war, and those who fought it did a
surprisingly good job of coming together afterward, realizing how awful
it was to have a political divide that set brother against brother."
There isn't one stinking commie, dead, alive, or unborn, who qualifies as my "brother". If we're going to do this, it will be necessary to make sure we don't have to do it twice. They won't be satisfied with an amicable split, or divvying up territory. They mean to be our overlords forever. There is only going to be one way to stop them.

How about a national referendum on whether people want a Civil War , a peaceful division of the country or to continue with the unworkable status quo.
No. Big fat no.
It is not unworkable status quo, have people not been paying attention to changes. Do you forget that Twitter and Media amplify the small percentage of crazies.
To even consider a stupid question like that means we've lost. Just reading that depressed the fucking hell out of me.

In relation to the Red Hen incident, I've seen it mentioned several times that there is such a thing as southern hospitality, and they failed at that bit of social glue.
Many northerners, coming to the South with their preloaded concepts of southern prejudice, leave here amazed at how polite and solicitous and friendly everyone is to them.
To their utter amazement. I've lived in both 'climes', and northerners are rude to a fault. No sirs or maams, short on thanks yous and excuse mes, the place is short on social lube.
But that never stopped me from saying 'thank you' to damn near every clerk I dealt with in the north.
Cuz I came preloaded too.

You missed the mark by a bit. This all started in the 19th century.
Perhaps, but it got ramped way up in the '60's. That's when the Ctrl-Left started running ad agencies and then networks. A lot of their messaging is in commercials.
There's simply no respect for anyone or anything these days. If you fill a child's head with nonsense and constantly tell it that it's just the bestest human ever to walk the Earth and that's it's unique and special and oh-so-smart, you're building an emotional wall against new knowledge. They already know everything and their ego is so engorged that they refuse to learn anything.
That's some real brainwashing right there.

"At most 10% of the population. Take away their media and they will return to being forgettable lumps of no promise.
Posted by: Gumby "
====================================
10% is the number that will follow though on "punching a Nazi"(rationalized to anyone they don't agree with" )
That's manageable. If you add in the coalition of the ones willing to kill your livelihood (get you fired or ruin your business over mainstream political beliefs) the number approaches 30-35%, I think.
These are the folks you can't and don't want to bargain with.
The right has had it's moments of rhetorical over-reach and near violent charismatic speech over the years, but the media has always been there to (rightfully in those cases) shame the perps into retreat, so the mania never spread. Now they are intentionally fanning the flames so that it will reach critical mass (>45%), in which case, all is effectively lost for E Pluribus Unum.

Our previous civil war was quite unusual, historically, in that it was geographically based. Because of that, we are conditioned to think of civil wars in those terms, but that is not accurate. Any physical war today would be more like the Spanish Civil War of the 30's, or the English Civil war of the 1600's, where the opponents lived all mixed in with each other and fought a bitter winner take all battle for the whole enchilada. That is actually what most civil wars are like, which is why it's a good idea to try and keep from starting one if you can. Because when wars like that start, they devolve into a family by family, house by house killing spree almost every time.

That's because it wasn't a real "civil war". There weren't two factions fighting over control of one nation. One group left the nation and then the other group fought to capture a, then, foreign nation. Both were legitimate actions.

A fire broke out in the kitchen, and they all ran out so fast that they grabbed whatever tail they could find. [I know, phrasing.]
So the dogs all got the wrong tails, and they have been checking ever since to see who got theirs.
She also said that a dog with a high-held tail was just taking a picture.

Our president is trying to use leverage and negotiate a better trade deal for us, and what do those rotten cucks do? They undermine the president, and conspire to pass a LAW to prohibit the president of the United States to alter the international trade deals in any way.

They're intent on denying Trump the prerogatives of his office. They stated it out in the open before he was inaugurated. They were not going to allow the normalization of Trump. They were going to Resist. Everything he did/does is portrayed as being beyond the scope of his constitutional powers, aberrant, unprecedented, reckless, and dangerous. Trump has to wade through this shit waterfall every day. So far, so good.

Then go after the fuel and ammunition trucks.

5. the rabid nutbag leftwing coalition

6. maybe 10 GOP counter protestors.

If America did separate into two countries, the leftist half wouldn't exist long because it thinks it deserves death. They'd get all the illegals, the BLMers and the Muslims.
Whenever the illegals run over them, the BLMers play the knockout game or the Muslims blow them up, they'll say "We deserve it!" and set them free. They won't have any children. They will live out the rest of their lives, for the most part as the ruling class, and then die out by attrition. Then leftist America will be just another third world shithole.
Separation in the long term will mean victory, since the left is fighting against itself to destroy itself. Fine, I wish them luck in their fight to do this.

That's because it wasn't a real "civil war". There weren't two factions fighting over control of one nation. One group left the nation and then the other group fought to capture a, then, foreign nation. Both were legitimate actions.
-----------------------
Bingo. It was a war of territorial control. Lincoln could not allow the mouth of the Mississippi to be controlled by another country. Had nothing to do with slavery - four of the Union states were slave states. It was all about Manifest Destiny - which posited a west free of Indians and Negroes.

notsothoreau, yep, self-sorting makes things "worse" in some ways, but that wasn't my point. My point was that this self-sorting was the sort of thing that will continue, and takes the place of sustained organized armed conflict.
BTH, who knows, indeed some future "incidents" could be much worse. I was just saying that actual kinetic stuff is likely to be limited to such incidents, vs. an actual sustained "civil war".

I think, when we look back on these years, the straw that broke the camel's back will be the trans issue.
If you have one side that is religiously committed to the idea that you can make up your own gender, and another that believes that the existence of two and only two genders is a fundamental constraint of human nature, then you have two views of society that are fundamentally irreconcilable. I don't use the term "religiously committed" lightly, because the disagreement here really is on the order of a difference in religious opinion.
That in itself wouldn't be a dealbreaker, if both parties were committed to their continued union. It wouldn't be ideal, but it would be possible to muddle along and deal with all the resulting problems on an ad hoc basis. Think of marriages between people of different religions -- it CAN work, if both parties put a very high premium on making it work. It's hard, damn hard, but doable. But if one or both parties isn't committed to it, the arrangement is doomed, because disagreements on deep, fundamental issues will continually arise -- and often in ways nobody could have imagined.
I think the next major national 9/11-style crisis will be the precipitating event in a national divorce. Right now we're just cruising along on inertia; we're like the couple that's sticking together because nothing better is currently available, and we're not annoyed enough yet to cut a check to some divorce lawyer. But it won't stay that way forever. It never does.

Now you can see the pushback start. Yes, I'll bet there will be some shit go down but we got this in spite.
We're Americans, and as such are denied the option of failure. You've seen us fight through situations every bit as dire and prevail.
So when the dust settles after this latest, there we will be. Doesn't matter what we go through to get there, we win.
Because of who we are.
Never forget that.

If there is to be a civil war (nix that - revolution; CWs are for
rebels who lose) I see it unfolding in three phases from our POV.
1.) Conquer gov't forces in rural/small-town areas, solidify control there.
2.) Invade and and subjugate the urban areas.
3.) Win the peace - extirpate remaining enemies.
There can be no "two countries." Only a winner and a debellated loser, consigned to the wood chipper of history.

You know I have the distinct impression that the vocal 'resisting' leftists are a very visible minority promoted and highlighted by the MFM. And if you remove the mask -- the anonymity of the 'Net -- most of those would try to be civil. The Antifa, etc., contingent are soy boys and girls trying to be leftist superheroes.

Yeah - specifically that they wanted to reorganize our entire society to accommodate these sad, delusional people, and in doing so, forcing young girls into locker rooms with grown men who are naked, make women compete against men in sports (MMA being the worst), and the state compelling people's speech or facing fines, job loss, etc.

I'll repost something I remember writing when we were on this topic a few weeks ago, about why a hypothetical California Secession would be so easy to deal with, with very low casualties. This model would apply to almost all of the blue areas, but California is the one that's been making the most noise, so:
Suppose, for this hypothetical, that California secedes and declares an intent to leave the Union, even though the people living outside of the major urban areas do NOT actually want this; how to effectively and quickly respond? Simple - stay away from the cities, and simply send in commando teams to disable the top 30 to 40 power plants in the state. Then take out key points in all of the long term electricity transmission lines and hold the spots, so that they cannot be repaired without our permission.
Then sit and wait. Imagine LA with no electrical power for 1 week - no cell phone charging, no communications systems, no food distribution, all economic activity grinding to a complete dead halt. Same for the San Fran area, same for Sacramento - every populated area would devolved into riots and total chaos in just a few days, and within two weeks those leader who could be found would be begging for forgiveness on any terms. The "war" would be over, just like that.
And of course they could be readmitted as a territory with no national voting rights for at least 10 years, just like happened the last time states tried to secede.
It really would not be very difficult, and would not take very long. You don't negotiate with rabid enemies, you crush them totally and so completely that they beg you for mercy.

If I wanted war, I'd be doing my damnedest to make it happen. Wouldn't be terribly hard if I didn't mind dying. The sheer violence involved is also the main reason I'm increasingly trying to counsel restraint in action even as I prep.
But don't kid yourself. They want you dead, obviously, and happily employ their antifa goons and minority thuglets to attack you even as the derp state tries to break your back officially. They will bring in foreign armies including the UN, because they know talented fighting Americans want nothing to do with them.
You only need one belligerent for a war to start, and they know it only becomes harder to maintain control over time. If they wait until 2020, President Trump could do irreparable damage- and that's assuming he doesn't win easy re election.
They are running out of time, and they know it.

Welcome to the Land of Internet Tough Guys.
I know there are many veterans that comment here, but I wonder how many were actually ever shot at?
I knew a young man (well, not so young anymore) that got shot at repeatedly in Iraq. It did not make him very happy. It made him want to be somewhere else, and not go back for another tour in Iraq (he did at least three tours).
And my old friend that was a Marine in Viet Nam, who did at least four combat tours. He knows it screwed him up for a while. He talks about it now, but it is scary talk to listen to. He did part of one tour at Khe Sanh in 1968.

In his book, The Spanish Civil War, Stanley Payne describes three factors he thought led to civil war.
1) As leftist utopia remains illusory, more and more radical policies are instituted in an attempt to immanentize the eschaton: check!
2) Crimes are scrupulously and severely enforced against the right but ignored when committed by the left: check!
3) Regardless of who wins elections, the leftist agenda is advanced: Hawaiian judge says, "Check!"
Eventually, there was just one murder too many and they were off to the races!

Not British Columbia, but Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, The Yukon Territory, and Northwest Territories. Western Canada is pretty conservative. Probably not as conservative as most of us, but could be worth looking into.
It would take a lot to get them, but then we have a contiguous country all the way to Alaska. This also gives us access to the Pacific.

This is simple, really. Just start enforcing federal immigration law in California. Start jailing and prosecuting illegal aliens for Social Security fraud. Shut off all federal funding for institutions that will not defend free speech. Then, when California secedes, invade. Throw out the illegals, send the insurrectionists to Mexico, and declare the state a US territory under control of a provisional governor. Install Kurt Schlicter as said governor, and as the loonies come out of the woodwork to protest and loot, eject them from the country. Then, when New York secedes, wash rinse and repeat, except maybe with Sarah Palin as the provisional governor.

I think the West Coast is already in a soft civil war. When you have trendy artists complaining about crime and filth, the stage is set. The government and the non-profit class enriches itself with the billions of tax dollars for programs, and the cities get worse and worse. They will not give up the money and power willingly.

303 This is simple, really. Just start enforcing federal immigration law in California. Start jailing and prosecuting illegal aliens for Social Security fraud. Shut off all federal funding for institutions that will not defend free speech. Then, when California secedes, invade. Throw out the illegals, send the insurrectionists to Mexico, and declare the state a US territory under control of a provisional governor. Install Kurt Schlicter as said governor, and as the loonies come out of the woodwork to protest and loot, eject them from the country. Then, when New York secedes, wash rinse and repeat, except maybe with Sarah Palin as the provisional governor.

What about the bystanders who have their children killed? I could generate enough hate to power a battleship if that happened to me. At that point it;s not about ideology, it's about vengeance.
A civil war is very bad, very bad.

Why, yes. Yes, he did.
He also told his psychophants to bring guns. And now his operative Mad Maxine is advocating all-out war against PDT's administration. Bring it on, bitch. You need to be made an example of by being arrested, convicted and sentenced for treason.

I'm pretty sure this is irony. Manpower they have: and quite a few are still loyal to BJ Clinton. Still more to Barack Hussein. I've met quite a few, and watched both men inspire that loyalty first hand.
Hillary has never inspired loyalty outside the shrikes and soyboys, and she knows it. I strongly believe that President Trump will bring about her end, while sparing Obama and her husband.
If the left does provoke a civil war then all bets are off.

This public harassment of GOP/Trump officials/et al is getting interesting. It'll probably die out on its own soon anyway, but ...... WTF? Senate majority leader, top presidential adviser, DHS Sec., WH press sec., FL AG - publicly harassed? And some at their homes?!!
This is terra incognita, AFAIK.
I recall when some idiots did this to to bank executives in 2009 - and of the many jaw-dropping, utterly irresponsible, un-presidential, ugly bits of nonsense that Obama stained the country and office with, what he said then was one of the worst. "We're the only ones standing between them and the people with pitchforks" (from memory).*
Hard to believe the administration isn't taking action or planning to on this nonsense.
Then again, the ridiculous shut-down of an ICE office in Portland was allowed to go on for days. And, AFAIK - and this is SOP for this administration - the unbelievable refusal of Portland LE to immediately end the illegal actions has not been punished. So, who knows.
* note that the beautiful Wisconsin Ave. NW HQ of FNMA and the offices of the NYC branch of the Fed were not surrounded by mobs, even though these were the key institutions that allowed, and pushed, the things that led to the 2008 crash.

If you're not using a civil war to decisively defeat your enemy, what's the point? And that would require annhilating the populations of blue clusters.
What's the contrary idea? That you'll achieve separation and then happily go your own ways?

I've said before that I knew we were on the path to civil war when Obama was elected in 2008.
I'm not trying to toot my own horn, but it was obvious to me. You can't have half of the population trying to ram Communism down the other half's throats without bloodshed.
That's where we are now. The Commie half has been actively working with our enemies to undermine our nation, and refuse to accept the results of any election they don't win.
Now, on the one hand we have "Bake the cake or we will bankrupt you and put you out of business", and on the other hand we have "We don't serve your kind here". And the Left believes they have the moral high ground in both cases!
There is really nothing else to discuss at this point.

Consider though that politics in the USA have often been brutally contentious and the even in the recent past, there was more violence than what we see today.
There was a brief period during the 80's-90's where the Democrats restrained their violence to the environment and world trade meetings. It wasn't nonexistent but the violence was at a low simmer.
Democrats are certainly ramping up with the only logical conclusion being death but lets not forget why their mascot is the Jackass. They have been acting like this for over a hundred years.

I've been shot at, repeatedly. Didn't like it one bit. One of the reasons why, if you've ever read anything I posted about this issue is that I work for a political, peaceful resolution.
But know this, should the situation arise again, I'll do my best to negate the problem.

This is simple, really. Just start enforcing federal immigration law in
California. Start jailing and prosecuting illegal aliens for Social
Security fraud. Shut off all federal funding for institutions that will
not defend free speech. Then, when California secedes, invade. Throw
out the illegals, send the insurrectionists to Mexico, and declare the
state a US territory under control of a provisional governor. Install
Kurt Schlicter as said governor, and as the loonies come out of the
woodwork to protest and loot, eject them from the country. Then, when
New York secedes, wash rinse and repeat, except maybe with Sarah Palin
as the provisional governor.
Posted by: cornbred at June 26, 2018 06:14 PM (f32MA)
Cutting of the funding of corrupt governments will bring the BS front and center very quickly. I like this.
Cali is totally corrupt and out of hand now. It is a remnant of what it was even 30 years ago. SF is literally an open sewer. And no government official cares enough to do anything about it.
California = Failure.

"And the news media, which promote shrieking outrage in pursuit of ratings and page views, are making the problem worse."
One problem I have with statements like this from Glenn (published in USA Today) and Levin, etc. is they act like they aren't part of the media. Well they are. So you can try to qualify that with "MSM" main-stream media, but really bloggers are getting more influential and MSM has lost a lot of it's power where it does have to react to the lower levels of internet and radio media.
So is "our" media really not part of the shrillness? Seems like when you are declaring a new civil war, you are part of the problem.
Yes the antifa type agitators are dangerous, but really how much of the left-voting section of the country is represented by that? Also the crack-down on religious freedom if it keeps progressing, could cause a showdown.

As I've been saying, the #Walkaway campaign is proof that the New Left has gotten too toxic even for *itself*. Sure, party abandonment happens all the time, but not like this, and not in these numbers.
The New Left doesn't want to admit it, but in their grand LARP of "righteousness", people who are not completely mentally unhinged can see where the lemmings are heading and decided they no longer wanted to be led off the cliff to Utopia.

I concur with Scott Adams. People on our side vastly overestimate our opposition. They are almost all pathetic losers who only can manage to feel a shred of self esteem when they pack themselves into a group. One firecracker on the ground while brandishing a bb gun would have 50 of them running as fast as the could, certain that they were all about to die.
They are not adults, they are angry children acting out, and like all children they are very easily frightened.

Yeah missed it completely here at the HQ but the SCOTUS/judicial branch question is far more vexxing and serious than "civil war" fantasies. There is absolutely no doubt that the collapse of the rule of law in the judicial branch, and the related unraveling of the constitutional order, is real - and it's already happened, it's not speculation.
And yes, the 5-4 vote on the travel EO - and especially the "reasoning" behind the dissents, only confirms all this, in spectacular fashion.
Where is Ignoramus? When I was whining and screaming about repudiation, and the usurpation of the judicial branch having finally broken the last barrier (national security), he assured me the win at SCOTUS would be yuuuge (I think he did, anyway!). The sort that would represent a real rebuke to the usurpation.
5-4? On a ridiculous, obvious case like this? Unambiguous, uncontroversial, statutorily delegated plenary authority, obviously exercised properly (a f***king direct reaction to consensus intel community assessments that track with common sense).
Not losing one second of sleep about a "civil war". Waiting to be persuaded, however, that the republic is not gone.

Yeah.

Something we forget today about why the previous American Civil War was so deadly, and why the South was certain at the beginning that they were going to win: Over half of the active duty officers in the American Army at the time resigned their posts and joined the Confederacy, as did almost the same number of regular soldiers. (Army number of enlisted men at the outset were small, and both sides quickly swelled with volunteers) The entire Confederate military leadership was made up of well respected West Pointers.
So, each side started off with about half of the former American Army - that's who was doing the fighting.

There won't be any split, because who's going to pull up stakes?
People with a lot of nothing. That's who.
Anyone with a life and possessions they worked for won't.
This won't be India and Pakistan.
Civil War will mean Death Squads and assassinations more or less. Tit for tat until everyone gets sick of it - and then martial law gets called. And do we win that phase- cuz that's the winning phase. Who knows?
It's a stupid idea.
Violence is not the solution.
Right now, this can all stop over night if the police and DAs and FBI and DOJ all do their jobs like professionals for all of their countrymen.
Right now, those people are choosing not to honor their oaths or profession.
A couple of more Las Vegas massacres or similar horrors and violence will cut lose-
How in the world can anyone think this will end well?
anyone in this country can be assassinated by anyone who hunts deer on a regular basis, really.
The left and Democrats are playing with fire and need to stop now.
Any those cops, firemen, FBI agents, DAs, CIA agents, etc etc etc who don't want to do their jobs properly for all of their fellow citizens need to be fired and their pensions pulled.
Again, all of this can stop over night.
Oh, yeah, and we need to reopen the asylums cuz a lot of this leftist violence is due to the exploitation of mentally ill losers by the leaders of the left.

Drive them out from you to their safe space enclaves of filth. Drive them from your businesses, your schools, your public spaces.
Drive them into ever more narrow confined echo chambers of their own psychopathy and disease.
Protest their every waking moment and deny them sleep, respite or a moments sanity. Make them fear what they will find on their doorstep every morning. Make them dread the bumper-stickers you put in every restroom in every building the work and play at. Make them loathe every time they must leave the house.
Most are weak pathetic creatures and will crumble under the pressure, the humiliation, the shear endless burden of inconvenience they must slog through.
They do not have the fiber to truly suffer for their beliefs. Bring the Pain.

There is absolutely no doubt that the collapse of the rule of law in the

order, is real - and it's already happened, it's not speculation.
And

Agreed, rhomboid, the real issue is that the complete failure of the basic rule of law for the Leftie SC judges. A basic read of Article 2 is all one needs to slam dunk this from a legal standpoint. This is a 9-0 decision.
And this, combined with the Leftie press and the insane Dems and Antifa, means there is a general collapse of the law. The Left doesn't care the Mueller "investigation" is just a scam, set up by Democrats in power and the leaders of the Premier US Law Enforcement Agency. The corrupt FBI. When the "rank and file" FBI refuse to jail their corrupt superiors, they are just as guilty. Hey, "rank and file", prove me wrong! Dare you!
Many are simple traitors. Yet nobody cares. And they make up nonsense crap like illegals getting separated from their fake daddies at the border.
The only question I have remaining is Sodomayor a traitor, or just really, really stupid?

When the "rank and file" FBI refuse to jail their corrupt superiors, they are just as guilty. Hey, "rank and file", prove me wrong! Dare you!
Many are simple traitors. Yet nobody cares. And they make up nonsense crap like illegals getting separated from their fake daddies at the border.
The only question I have remaining is Sodomayor a traitor, or just really, really stupid?

" The entire Confederate military leadership was made up of well respected West Pointers. "
But they were led by General Lee, though while the next statement may appear to be blasphemy to many, General Lee was an absolutely terrible general.
There was no time when he acted as if he was actually in a battle for survival, it seemed to be that this was a friendly game of high stakes poker played among true gentlemen.

I dont think the SCOTUS decision on SCOTUS (assuming it allows people to not pay dues)
will have a drastic immediate effect in real terms.
Majority of union members already devoted lefty Kool-Aid drinkers
but it will plant a ticking time bomb so that hard working people on the right will no longer be required to support the Dem-Union machine
Posted by: McCool
_________
If it goes our way, I think you will see a massive shift in political alignments.
The big thing will be once union dues can't be forced, union leadership actually has to listen to their members or they will get cut off
Most due paying union members aren't interested in political activism, they want issues addressed that directly effect them.
For instance, the unions backed ObamaCare despite the fact it taxed Union health benefits. Because union leadership has just become an extension of the Democrat party.

5-4? On a ridiculous, obvious case like this? Unambiguous, uncontroversial, statutorily delegated plenary authority, obviously exercised properly (a f***king direct reaction to consensus intel community assessments that track with common sense). "
Rhomboid, to repeat something when this very thing was discussed earlier today - I mean no offense, but have you been paying attention to the Court for the last 20 years? There are 4 Liberal Constitution-hating ideologues on the Court - Ginsburg, Breyer, Sotomayer, and Kagan. It is NOT hyperbole to say that they would gladly toss every piece of the Constitution out if it would advance their ideology, they will ALWAYS vote against Trump on ANYTHING, no matter what.
The reality is that after Obama, the BEST we could possibly hope for from this Court was 5-4 decisions. THAT is why 2016 was the Flight 93 Election, THAT is why it was so crucially important that Trump won, THAT is what they Never Trumpers cannot grasp and why there have been so woefully and completely wrong - we were only 1 vote away from Losing our Constitution completely.
I am NOT kidding, I am NOT exaggerating - that is how close we came to the true death of this country - 1 vote away. That's the reality we have been living for many years now.
You seem to be surprised at how deeply evil and destructive to the core that the liberals are, and this includes Ginsburg, Breyer, Sotomayer, and Kagan. Do not be surprised - all 4 of them hate this country, and want to see what it is today permanently destroyed. That is who they are. That is why we should fall on our knees and praise God that we got out of this with a 5-4 win.

I have a couple who I would term "offensive." They constantly virtue signal. My personal fave was when one of them was crowing about "marching for science."
I asked her what she accomplished by doing so.
Nothing but a nasty, empty glare in response.
I try to be kind, but every so often, it helps to keep their excesses in check.

But they were led by General Lee, though while the next statement may appear to be blasphemy to many, General Lee was an absolutely terrible general.
There was no time when he acted as if he was actually in a battle for survival, it seemed to be that this was a friendly game of high stakes poker played among true gentlemen.

Yeah he was such a horrible general he managed to stymie an opposing army that was twice as large, better equipped and better fed for four years

At any rate, my point is that Our Side (that is, Normal Americans) is only growing larger by the day while the Batshit Brigades are rapidly shrinking. After a reckoning, they'll Lunatic Fringe everyone makes fun of once again.
Now, the Asylum is still controlling a lot of the dialogue right now, but I think all it's going to take is one swift, overwhelming, uncompromising kick in the ass from Everyone Else to send them scurrying back to mom's basement to lick their wounds and send impotent capslock death threats to Sarah Huckabee.
They are soy LARPers, and the only reason they've been able to get away with their violent fascist fantasy bullshit is the enabling of the elites (who are quickly losing power) and reluctance of the normies to see them for the rancid little spoiled wastes of sperm they are. Once the gloves are off, though? And with a considerable number of former leftists who got tired of their shit added to the ranks of Normal Americans?
Most. Pathetic. Revolution. Ever.
Point is, keep your powder dry, but remember that we're not as alone as you might think.

House divided against itself and all that. I still support that idea. A split nation becomes two minor countries while others rise to become the dominant geopolitical superpower.
I'm not OK with that.
I'm not OK with the idea that those who came before me sacrificed their lives just to see it end in a pathetic "divorce".
Because divorce is an understandable analogy, but ultimately incorrect.
There is no splitting up the assets and moving into a new apartment.
Once divided, the newly formed sub-countries will immediately engage in conflict either economic or armed (or one leading to the other).
The nation stands as is, or it must be utterly destroyed. There is no middle ground, because this is the kind of "divorce" where each member of the union continues trying to destroy the other long after the divorce decree has been rendered.

LeftCoastDawg - yes, the complete disregard for law, the street combat anything-goes mindset of the other side - and its refined equivalent on the courts, which is less crude but just as idiotic, if you doubt it wade through some SCOTUS and circuit rulings the last few years on various topics - defines the collapse of the system.
The USSR had a wonderful (unreadably long) constitution - which meant nothing, because power + mindset of rulers and ruled. Right now a majority or near-majority of judges (and their supporters in law school faculties, NGOs, etc.) literally have no concept of the basic rule of law that was the foundation of our uniquely successful society.
Boss Moss - if states and universities etc. have "standing" block lawful, national-security based decisions of the executive about *admitting foreign nationals to the US*, then ...... obviously, "standing" is meaningless - as are all words and concepts in the orwellian, post-rational toxic dream-world inhabited by the people mentioned in the above paragraph.

"When in upstate NY I talk to cashiers just like I do down here. They get nervous and don't know what to do or say. You know you're in Puritan country when you meet this phenomena. A very repressed, judgmental people."
Years ago when my kids were small, we were all just off the ferry in Oak Bluffs for a day trip to Martha's Vineyard, while visiting the grandparents on Cape Cod.
While the boat was docking, I was looking at all of the buildings in the port, and seeing "Doggie Organic Bakery", "Pet Shiatsu Massage", and a few other high-ticket dog-oriented things.
We got off, and went into the Black Dog shop at the pier to look around and stretch our legs, and there were flyers on the counter for some other pet-related event.
I asked one of the employees, in my best broad Blanche DuBois (I am from Virginia, which is bad enough to listen to for your average MA Yankee), "Tell me, sugah, do daawwwwgs have the vote heah?" and managed to look innocently into her eyes without cracking up.
She stared for a moment, then said "I don't know. Sarah?!" (yelling up to the loft) "what?"
"Do dogs vote here?" "What?" "This lady wants to know..."
I lost it then, I couldn't help it.
Was very proud of myself for how long I kept my face straight.
(once I explained it to the girl, she laughed too, at least)

Antietam? (Not a victory per se, but Lee was greatly outnumbered and yet inflicted massive casualties on Federal forces, withdrawing in good order)
Battle of Antietam. To quote the Wiki: The Union had 12,410 casualties with 2,108 dead.[6] Confederate casualties were 10,316 with 1,546 dead.[7][78] This represented 25% of the Federal force and 31% of the Confederate.
I'm sure that General Lee was well acquainted with King Pyrrhus of Epirus.

It seems to me that Chancellorsville was really the only great Lee victory. Everything else was him avoiding annihilation.

General Lee was awesome. The way it took all those jumps with no damage!

566 I don't know why folks automatically believe National Divorce = Civil War 2.0. Peaceful separations of countries are not unheard of. I'm sure as hell not wishing for a civil war. I just want to be left alone.

The other side is completely crazy and thinks they're absolutely right and, by golly, they will re-educate us until we think the correct thoughts.
Shorter version: We want to be left alone, but the scolds on the left won't leave us alone.

I don't think it will be a shooting war in CA but the oligarchs and the government together will do it by hassling people to death so that they leave. Not enough water, not enough electricity, bad roads--it's The Curley Effect on steroids. They are already doing it.

States demanding their own governance and weakening the federal government seems to be the path we are on. Gun rights for some, pot for others.
Or, the dollar could collapse and all of the pot smoking, welfare needing, professional protestors could find out what it's like to live in the real world.

Ace, I know you're hot on national divorce (and I can't say I blame you). Two reasons why I don't think we can give into the temptation, though: nukes and foreign interference.
In the case of divorce, who gets the nukes? Who ever gets them can dictate terms to the other (particular USA Blue to USA Red), invalidating any benefits of divorce. They can be split because flight times are too short on one continent and a first strike could never really be defended against. They can't be eliminated as that would put the USAs under the nuclear guns of Russian and/or China.
And foreign influence can't be prevented. Even if just California were to leave, it itself is fractured enough that it would likely face civil war, and one side or both would likely need to call on foreign aid (Russian, Chinese, or even Mexican). This gives unfriendlies a toe-hold in North America. (Moreover, if you think the border is tough to police now, wait until it grows by 1000 miles and runs from Yuma to Spokane.)
Also consider Blue sympathies abroad. Red USA would have few power allies abroad; the entirety of the remaining G7 countries would back Blue USA with a boycott (or embargo) of Red USA. Neither Russia nor China could be expected to go to bat for Red USA on the UN Security Council (I can't expect Red USA would keep the seat), meaning that sanctions package after sanctions package would also follow.
We've got to keep those who wish us ill close because the alternatives are worse.

It's terrible, but we've been here a long time. If 9/11 hadn't pinged the radar, the dissolution would have started around 2002.
It will get violent this summer, and if Democrats don't pick up a legislative branch this fall--and it increasingly looks like they will fall well short--the Left will explode. In fact, that has been threatened directly and it isn't at all subtle. During the autumn of 2016, similar threats were made but it wasn't this explicit.
Prediction: if Trump gets the opportunity to appoint one or two more justices, California is out the door.
