re: I truly think we are headed for a civil war.

Good sport, it was all to easy to go there.

Didn't read all of this, but just for kicks, someone here has to know. Normal red state blue state breakdown. Even giving the blue states the normal upper midwest states.

Where does the military style manufacturing breakdown fall nowadays? If you have to make military stuff, does the north still have a significant lead factory wise?

Honest question, no idea. My guess would be the north would still be able to militarize quicker and more effectively?

This is a ridiculous hypo, but my initial thoughts are that the systemic advantages from the first one may still be in place.
