Open or organized ‘rebellion’ from the Right happens in only one form. Such being that Red States simply NULLIFY Judicial hierarchy and claim to be ‘Sanctuary States’. With the vast majority of the people backing them up.

The real and definitive effect of any such radical action would result in a meltdown of economic system collapse. Assets, and basic goods and services mechanisms would lock up and but for the relatively few who have such life giving resources in hand, the muh rebellion would fizzle within two weeks. The massive Urban populations would go full heathen as political ‘soldiers’ easily took out energy infrastructure to said threatening urban opponents.

The best analogy is the Hurricane Katrina scenario, unrestricted to a local area. Had not the National Guard showed up with guns, water and MREs when they did, it would have been open war between haves and have nots. Tinged with underlying and long simmering racial and political divisions.

The bottom line is just like taking out the IRGC. Trump could easily do it by decimating infrastructure, but a LOT of non combatants and innocents would perish in the collateral aftermath.

Bottom line: No sane group or individual would ever begin such a process. Albeit the chances that such might happen organically (terrorism, ‘George Floyd’ bs, Natural causes, economic meltdown, etc) is high. There is a ton of crazy out there. And likely inevitable given the historical norm.

No he wasn't. He cooked the books with that just like he did with unemployment and mass shooting stats.

They categorized everyone who was turned away at the border as a 'deportation.' His numbers were even more full of shite than Trump's are now.

And the floods of people who did make it, and the mechanisms for them staying, like the 'dreamers' EO, were 100% Obama.

Pretty much the opposite of 'strong on immigration.'

No.

If elected he would get elected by disclaiming communism. After being elected he would put into effect one hundred per cent communist policies, BUT, if he said, "I'm not a communist," eighty percent of Democrats would believe him, if he said "I'm REALLY not a communist." 100% of Democrats would believe him. If he said "I'm REALLY, REALLY not a communist, all the democrats and all the rinos would believe him.
The military would be washed of all the conservatives, just as the POS Obama did during his tyrancy. (at least most of them). The military would do as ordered because the main stream media would be there usual pro-communist self. Any non-communist media would simply be killed.
It would be a process that wouldn't take long, but be well planned out.

You think I meant it would form in one place, under one leader?

You do not seem to know how insurgencies work.

Or withdraw every cent from your bank and the stock market.
Crash the entire system.
BTW- Nobody going to do jack shite about anything. We have illegal stealing hundreds of billions right in our faces. Add in the trillions fleeced by corrupt politicians and Big Corp, this country is 100% Done.
At this rate, Not sure we even make it to 2030 without the collapse.

No! If young fools elect communists, let them get an education in an actual class room.

No, not in that manner. The commies would already know everything about a group you speak of. This isn’t 1776

Socialists have no universal policy on Immigration. It’s not really relevant.

I'll never understand how yalls brains work.
Our current president was praising a communist dictator just a few days ago.
How is your hypothetical situation more concerning?

The military would support the stability and well-being of their families, and there's usually not a lot of stability and well-being during a civil war.

There would also be widespread internet outages and Pop Tart shortages, which would hit so many of the people fantasizing about civil war squarely in the nuts.

It's nothing but online chaos fantasy..

Assuming Socialism/Communism took hold (they'd have to get rid of the Supreme Court and the Constitution) I would look to offshore my accounts and figure out how to hedge against the U.S. dollar. Might be time to retire and find a place to move, not because I would want to or think anyone would give a shite, simply to preserve what financial assets we have built for the past 40 years.
