They've got more guns but liberals have all that affluence.
The civil war you are talking about would pretty much be mostly uneducated rural and suburban whites vs everyone else. Are they going to organize and invade urban centers? Lol. Is the Right trying to incite Helter Skelter now?
A Republican in office wouldn't have faced Hitler likely. He wouldn't have gotten involved without congressional approval to help the Brits when they faced the Blitz. Democracy might have died in Europe during that time and the American Right wasn't for intervening. Japan has to attack us and Hitler had to declare war for them to support their commander in chief in his goals of defending freedom in the world.
EndlessCuck cited Eisenhower who is more famous for starting the CIA secret war, and who was the Pioneer of the regime change that everyone seems to hate today after its happened hundreds of times all over the world.
There wont be American civil war. We aren't french...the government doesn't fear us and we don't take to the streets, even when the rich are stealing people's healthcare and money. It's pure fantasy. Things are too good for anyone to get too uncomfortable here. Americans don't want to sleep in the ground outside lol. Most people don't have what it takes to even participate in war. They would run and flee and do reasonable things. I love that the Right wing fantasizes about overthrowing the government and killing their liberal neighbors and coworkers because trannys gotta shit somewhere. Fucking world class assholes.
Without a government entity to protect that affluence, the side with the most guns(and the people willing to use them) win.
It's a dumb topic to discuss, but most of the cops and military are right-leaning, most of the people with guns are right-leaning, and there's no strategic reason to invade the ghettos in Baltimore or Chicago. Sorry Skinned, the people who are willing to fight generally aren't the highest echelon of intellectuals.
The great thing about America is that our foreign policy doesn't change that much between D/R administrations. The Republican controlled congress(with the help of Democrats) just forced Trump to sign a Russia sanctions bill. Despite the politics, most policy makers believe in the norms of American foreign policy. Every major war we fight has bipartisan support, there's no liberal warrior king who does anything special.
I do agree the people who fantasize about a new American civil war are huge assholes.
