Maybe. If it did, it's likely break down on the sides of liberty vs authoritarianism, which is mostly, but not completely, the same as our current political spectrum. There's plenty of libertarian-leaning Democrats and liberals, and plenty of authoritarian republicans and conservatives. Who wins isn't as simple who has the most guns either.

I don’t know if it would start out as a revolt or as defending what’s yours that would eventually lead to a revolt. There’s a reason you’ll never see ANTIFA down South or in Rural America...they’re smart enough to pick areas where no one would even attempt to fight back or defend themselves. Down here they’d leave with their tails tucked, if they are able to leave at all.
Sorta reminds me of that group that protests Military funerals. We had a local that was killed in Afghanistan and they had put our word they were coming. There were folks in surrounding States monitoring the highways to “detour” them before they could even hit the Georgia State line. And if they do happen to make it through, the surrounding counties had “good ole boys” on the lookout.
Come to find out, they decided this particular funeral wasn’t in their best interest and decided not to protest this Soldier.

I've resolved myself long ago that if it came to it I'd go to my camp, stay there, and if needed defend what is mine. I'd never be put in the position of having to take aim at another human again and having to be judge, jury, and executioner unless they were threatening harm to me or my family. It's not a pleasant experience.

I could not have said it better!

Most indicators show the country going deep blue by 2028, at that point expect hunting,trapping, gun ownership and free speech to come under severe attack from the federal government. Some Red areas will want to split when that happens. The most likely "flash point" would be removal of conservative supreme court justices that are a hindrance to the preferred agenda.

That's what the 2nd Amendment is all about!

There should be a civil war, but it won't happen.
We need to decide which state to meet in if we decide to defend the Constitution.

How can anyone doubt it?

1) We've been in a cold Civil War for half a century. Getting more polarized by the day. The sides have been chosen.
2) Armed men still march on State Capitols for redress of grievances. The will of We the People has not yet been completely broken.
3) The libtards push without ceasing. Crazier and crazier without logic, restraint or hesitation.

Soon or late, that last straw will occur and a hot Civil War will ensue.

I do not foresee civil conflict over political ideology. But I do see the possibility of conflict brought about by desperation. Just look at the reaction by the masses over the current crisis. What if the crisis was lack of food for the masses. Most in this country are not prepared to deal with such even short term and those that are would have to defend themselves in order to keep what they have. Would not take all that much to get something like that started and it could escalate quickly IMO.

This is about the dumbest post that Have read on T man in a good while and being an atheist myself, I have put up my share of BS on here. This is not liking or not liking just politics of one party or another. This is pulling up the very roots of society as we know it. I don't have the time or the crayons to explain it to a complete moron though. Now I would call you a (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman), but you would need to do some hard studying to elevate to that level.

So if I am to understand what the thoughts of the day are: If the current president is not re-elected the Dems stole the election and we should take up arms?

I spent a few years in Latin America and that thinking was pretty popular down there. (I guess I can be the object of Scuba's scorn now LOL)

Could not possibly agree more.

It's incredible listening to those in the United States saying how bad they got it, while they are in fact living much better than the majority of the rest of the world.

My mother who is closing on age 80 fast, bless her... keeps saying 5 years of starvation 5 years of starvation.... because she endured that during and at the end of WWII in an area of Germany that today is in Poland.

Tell you what, once starvation hits the big cities here in America that's when there will be an uprising, and it won't be a civil war either - it will be all out anarchy.

I read the 2 page of this and too many over look that there is a civil war going on before your own eyes. just that the shooting have not start.It started when Trump got elected in office and Hillary found out that she lost.After she woke up from her sleep and the rest that was to be on her cabinet. Also it started when Trump said on national news he will not sign the paper saying he will not contest the winner. The news only let that slip from what I know of once. That is why so many try everything to get him out of office.

I believe that Civil Something has to happen. We don't have Republicans vs Democrats any more. It is Extreme Socialism vs Everyday Americans. If you don't see that I can't help you. Extreme LGBTQ vs Religion. Gun’s, Trapping, Hunting, Fishing vs The World Belief that animals are people too. Wait till your state votes out trapping and then see how chill you are.

Separation of States will come before any Civil war would be my guess, if your vote choices are taken away what do you have really?
