Chef Jim Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 So with the fracturing of the country the past few years this term has been thrown out there a lot (quite flippantly I might add) lately. I have no idea if we'd ever come to blows but here are my questions. What would it look like? What would be the outcome? What would the country look like if the left won and what would the country look like if right won. I really don't this this would ever happen but it is scary that it's even bandied about. Thoughts?

Regardless of who "won," the outcomes would be pretty similar. Suppression of the other side. Forcing their ideology on the other side. No wiggle room. No compromise. However, if I were to pick a side, I would pick the side with the guns. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, if I were to pick a side, I would pick the side with the guns. Well that is my thought as well. Not only are many of the gun owners right leaning so is much of the military. And "won/win/winners" is likely not a great concept as yes this would be horrible and one one wins in a horror. However what I was getting at was what might the end results look like?

Prickly Pete Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 I can imagine skirmishes, but the most "radical" people on the Left that I know (and see) are full of Schiff, and are mostly virtue signaling. They just need a reminder of how good they have it. The others will die. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The left has shown that they are willing to literally burn everything down to get back in power. The right would ***** them up with superior weaponry. I think that the escalations now are a result of the right finally showing a backbone and standing up to the bullying of the left. They are used to people backing down. Then they ran into Trump and he is not going to put up with it. That is emboldening the right to fight back against the bullying. End result: scorched earth. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How would this happen? Terrorist acts. No one, left or right, is going to support terrorism. It will begin and end with idiots blowing something up and the law putting them in jail while the terrorists look weak, stupid and isolated.

BillsFanNC Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 I dont expect this to come to civil war, but who knows. What I do expect as almost certain is unprecedented levels of violence directly leading up to, on and immediately after election day 2020. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Antifa and other leftist extremists will likely be the flashpoint. There would be a short and bloody response, with many killed. and a quick response by the elite media (as Tom mentions) condemning all things American. Wait a few years..................Lather, rinse, repeat. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colin Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 I think we are likely to just fracture. Stronger states rights and limited federal powers could get us there incrementally. With remote white collar work being such a potential equalizer, I can see big expensive cities being hollowed out and States getting further and further apart culturally and politically. I think that would be the best possible outcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
