They, like their dear leader, massively overestimate their size and power, while underestimating their opponents’.
There's a number of historical and contemporary parallels to draw against what would probably happen which have already been said elsewhere. The common thread is that a large number of people will die over a number of years (but not as many as in a proper war) and not much will be accomplished by either side.
If they start a civil war, the left will finish it because there is no longer acceptance of tolerating intolerance.
Far right: We have all the guns! what are those pussies going to do?
Also Far right: cities are so dangerous I heard someone got shot there
Trying to make sense of idiots makes you the idiot.
They just do this to try and keep us from talking about a class war
They'll be out on the field in serried ranks with their Tacticool clothes and assault rifles, wondering where the other side is. Then the drones will come.
If it does happen, and I hope it doesn't come to that, it's going to be asymmetric.
Robert Evan’s touched on this in their article: https://www.cracked.com/personal-experiences-2403-6-reasons-why-new-civil-war-possible-terrifying.html
It’s amazing how people on both sides of the aisle have their own fantasy of the civil war. “Oh, we’ll just drone strike the opposition. War done.” “The military will just curb stomp those gravy seals.”
The whole civil war is going to become My Community vs everyone vs the Government. It’s going to be messy, it’s going to be violent, and it’s going to be bloody.
MAGAts have been pissed they lost the first one. What did the North do? Nothing to prosecute. Then they got even more pissed when a black man was voted as President… twice. Fuck them!
They often forget that plenty of left/liberal folks grew up with guns, and hunting.
