Texas is likely going to have Succession be voted on in a future Special Election if the 2024 Election is as dirty as the last. With the Communist Takeover of the USA how many other states will follow the lead of Texas and succeed from the Union?

Personal Note: I don’t know how else this ends well without a Peaceful Divorce. I’ve visited Civil War battlefields and it runs chills up yore spine knowing how many Americans died in the last go around. 😢

Not sure the relevance the American civil war has anything to do with what is happening now and more so, how things would play out. During the civil war, both sides had rugged, callused men who owned weapons and knew how to use them. They were fairly self sustained and essentially unplugged from real information. But the lack of information is what solidified both sides. Information being translated person to person creates a stronger bond that what we are doing on this site right now....throwing out a thousand ideas but if it came down to it, most of the people here believe heading in a direction is good. I get it, you want to get away from X dumbfukery. But heading away from something does not mean we are all headed in the same direction. We can all agree we don't like THAT, whatever THAT thing is. But I am 100% positive we cannot all agree on what to do about where we go once we are all away from THAT. The civil war was fairly simple, we want slavery vs we don't want slavery.

Only one group has MEN today. The rest are caged monkeys that don't realize they're caged and believe they have free will. If there were a civil war today things would play out much differently. I don't think people would split into 2 sides. I think it would start out like gangs controlling turf, guns and ammo would rule and some of the people running around just fucking shit up cause they can. Which is fine, they can take each other out. The major cities would starve themselves out of supplies while the "survivalist" would know how to support current building, power grids, refineries, farming, production. But the landscape would change extremely quickly. I think days/weeks. People wouldn't be killed but just starved to death. People you care deeply about, who don't have a bone to pick with anyone have become 100% reliant on the world as we know it now. Whether it be fearful of physically leaving their current living conditions, complete disconnect from reality or even requiring daily medication to survive would wipe out large amounts of people extremely rapidly.

If something were to go down, guns and ammo will get things kicked off but fortitude and intelligence would reign.

But a question for anyone here who thinks about civil unrest, would you be willing to defend someone who is defenseless and in need if their previous political agenda was different than yours? Once the bandaid is ripped off I don't think politics would come into question what so ever.

We went to the Alamo a couple of years ago and my dad (Vietnam Vet) didn't do very well standing on a battlefield

Strength and Peace to your Pop's. Won a multi year battle to find medical for a Vietnam Vet. Team effort, zero VA. F them.
2 tours, 3 PH 75 year old Leatherneck, multiple Presidential Unit citations, Bronze Star nominated. Texas comes through.

He broke down over that.

Definitely sets the hair up walking over that hallowed ground. Reading all the names on the Cenotaph is humbling.

Godspeed

Tough question. We'll find out soon enough. The fight the South fought had more than slavery alone as it's cause.
The Rich Men North of Richmond have always wanted total control. Then and Now. We have the right to call bullshit. And the right to back it up. A natural right, written in the Bill of Rights, codified into the Constitution, law, bought and paid for in blood. Government was the enemy then, Government run amuk is the enemy now. America's worst enemy. God help us, and God bless America. The Founding Fathers laid everything on the line, existing solely for this One Nation under God. We have had God's hand over us every day since the beginning, just like the Founders did. And prayed for. The battle for freedom is just. Good vs Evil. Saul did become Paul, but Ezekiel lines it out pretty clearly what is going on.

You are correct in that it will kill them all, and God will sort it out. The Father always has the last word. Godspeed.
Fish Friday, water and wine, Man~anaha! Slay some fish, God says it ok. Stay safe over Labor Day, Dominate!

I agree the actual warfare seen in the Civil War of the 1860's will have little in common with warfare of the 2020's. However, what may be very similar is Conservative States succeeding from the Federal Union kicking off attacks on Americans by Communist Controlled Agencies. There's a reason the US Government has been spending Billions arming departments such as the IRS, EPA, National Park Rangers, Bureau of Land Management with Sub Machine Guns, Concussion Grenades, Trillions of Rounds of Ammo, etc. These are all weapons of War, not self-defense. They are planning on suppressing any civil unrest at any cost and will militarize all these employees to supplement the National Guard and the Military.

I guess what I'm trying to say is: We're in the most unstable time in American history. Be prepared folks, were in for a bumpy ride!!!

What if things were reversed, Would this defenseless person in need be willing? The past 14-16 Years have seen Things said and done that are way beyond what this Country was founded on, and if in your "SOUL" Forgiveness and Forgetting these Unethical, Criminal, and Evil for "GREED" Acts, that is for you alone to live with.

God gave man dominion over the earth. Saul became Paul. God also gave us a ginormous toolbox with tools including but not limited to; skepticism, scrutiny, intuition, initiative and common sense. Pay attention to what is going on around you.
Jesus said, "Dude." "WHAT are you doing herding without a weapon at the ready in order to protect the flock?"😀
