      Interestingly, the states rights debate is true, wholly.

      The north wanted to keep the right to acknowledge escaped slaves as free, and the south kept sending people up there to kidnap free men and women. They were even known to kidnap free born black people and sell them into slavery.

      The south also wanted to charge the north for this “service”.

      When people talk about states rights, remind them that the south was heavily infringing on the rights of the northern states.

          I guess you’re one of those people who are incapable of reading between the lines.

          Or maybe you didn’t read my comment at all?

            Eh, sorry, it seemed like you were genuinely convinced that most people were concerned about legal issues. I’ve met people who tried to make earnest arguments like that.

        They also put it in their constitution that slavery could never be outlawed. Sounds like a really big issue for states rights

      “Buy muh Southern Pride!”

      “What about the south are you proud of that involves the battle flag of the side that wanted to keep slavery?”

      They actually believe that they can revolt, and with their AR-15s, magically take out National Guard troops and just acquire their weapons and armored vehicles.

      A member of my family is not only a veteran, but also fell into this lunacy and thinks his work as a logistics officer and his NG training puts him on the level of the Navy SEALs. And he’s almost 60. He salivates at the idea of fighting the mythical military oppression from the evil Demoncrats trying to take away his guns.

    Considering the avg republican has to ride the diabetes scooters at Walmart I think the 2nd civil war will be a goddamn turkey shoot.

      I’m not a Trumper and I know for a fact they not only have more gun owners in Republican voting areas, they also train with them more because it’s not as stigmatized. My point is that the Democrat areas will 100% lose any fight since we’ve been told for over two decades that guns are bad

    That sounds cool fun and easy but armed and untrained and undisciplined nut jobs crawling from the woodwork is not going to be a clean finish for anyone involved. Obviously this isn’t meant to be a deterrent for the justice system… but we’re working on a different tier here. It’s not going to be high profile business and agencies fighting each other. It’s going to be normal working people being attacked by deranged wing nuts and always by surprise, because there will be no centcom for them.

    So, if you think you’re going to be prepared for an outcome like this, I do wonder what you’re packing.

    I don’t think anyone really “won” the civil war. We’re still feeling its effects to this day.
