Real talk, it’s going to be like the troubles or the early days of Nazi Germany, not like people forming battle lines and shit. The only way the latter happens is if states secede; one viable scenario I’ve considered is California/Pacifica seceding and a subsequent shooting fight over water rights, because of how much water California gets from the Colorado River basin and other water sources outside its borders. But realistically, it’s going to be shitty partisan on partisan on innocent bystander violence.
Best advice I’ve heard is to form close ties and mutual aid agreements with your neighbors and friends. A small network of people can be far, far, far more resilient in defending protecting themselves than individuals or families can.

My neighbors are heavy GOP supporters. The single political sign I’ve ever put in my yard was to support the Pro Reproductive Freedom amendment ballot measure (pro choice amendment, which subsequently passed!). All of my neighbors had signs in their yard opposing it. I had a neighbor that lived a block away stop me while I was mowing my law asking me why I support a law that killed babies and turning kids trans. Nothing in the reproductive freedom amendment language has anything to do with anything trans.
and turning kids trans.
…I’m so confused by his logic.
That’s because it’s not logic
logic
Well, using that word is your first mistake.
It would never happen, no one in CA wants to leave the US and figure out how to maintain a national robust military. Also it’s really unlikely any US armed forces would break off from the US in significant numbers, so if you want to enforce your new country, you need to navigate a potential war with a military that has bases, weapons development, troops, and equipment in the most strategically advantaged locations. You’d need to silently create a counter army, and have VERY risky attacks at nearly every base all the same time, and capture most of the equipment in the process. If you aren’t force marching hundreds of US military people to a secure location, you aren’t winning any war, and the only successful way to exit the US is to have a military strong enough to prevent the US from immediately seizing control of the state, or thinking twice about starting a war.
It’s infinitly easier to use the existing system to progress the country in the direction you want to go over all.
The only way the latter happens is if states secede
Still seems pretty unlikely at this point, but I could maybe see this. Especially with the whole thing around Oregon and Idaho right now. Could start seeing states reform along political boundaries. Those lines aren’t very clean, but they exist.
I think the rural areas would just lose by mass though. Also, nobody seems to understand the co-dependence between urban and rural areas so splitting them up with weaken both.
Not visit the USA.
I have been in this habit all my life and will continue to do so :)
I’m gonna visit this guys house…for like the next 60 years.
Gotta find me first. :-)
I saw a clip years ago of a car or bike backfiring. People were panicing like it was gun fire. Even though NYC and The Grand Canyon look amazing, I would hate to visit an me on edge whether a shooting will occur or not.
I looked up shooting stats last year, specifically I compared USA shootings and deaths to Canada. It’s an amazing difference even after adjusting for the population difference. What I found odd when Trump got shot was the crowd behind him didn’t dive for cover, some of the fools stood up and looked around.

Head over and shoot fascists. What else is there?
This is the only answer if you love America
This guy gets it.
Probably just continue to talk shit to Nazis until one of them kills me.
Y’know, a life well lived.
Why let them kill you?
Its not about letting anyone kill me. I’m just realistic. I run my mouth a lot when it comes to Nazis, and I’m not a fighter. It stands to reason one day my rhetoric will piss off the wrong person, and it stands to reason that’ll be what kills me. Depending on how sadistic said person can get, there are worse ways to go.
Now I’m really kissed.
Starve? Die from lack of medicine/doctors? Get killed for being in the wrong place at the wrong time?
So like, every day that ends in “y” in the US?
Focus on hit and run, and harassment tactics. Spec into speed and endurance, and use mostly Void Rays, hopefully we can wrap it up in mid game with a decent economy and a mid level apm.
As a Canadian: stay the heck away the border because who knows if they’re gonna launch a missile at Niagara Falls, NY and hit Niagara Falls, ON?
…pretty sure nobody’s gonna target Niagara Falls, NY. You have more to fear from inside Niagara Falls, NY, primarily highway robbery.
There’s a large hydroelectric power plant powered by Niagra Falls. The Church of the Holy Fossil Fuel will make it a major target.
I mean my point might be better made about Detroit and Windsor but you get the idea
Back in the day I was a soldier who could hit a target pretty well. But I’m 50 now and my back barely works for standing up, let alone fighting.
I’m going to be a meat sandbag for people to fight behind.
Load the rounds and haul the hurt. Everyone deserves to be useful.
Take the US example and close all EU borders to american refugees. If you still try, we unfortunately have to put you into detention centers.
Not talk about what I’d do if a fascist government were to start looking for people like me.
We shall hide in our secret places. Yes, hide.
We have a bug out spot in a very remote area near the border. It’s where we plan on retiring anyway. Stay the hell out of the way of the war I suppose.
Quite literally move to Canada, I’m a dual citizen.
Third. The war of independence was a civil war too.
I’m getting older, have few weapons and only paintball experience. So I’m of no use in combat. I’m fairly certain foreign powers would get involved, and I’d be curious to see what they do. Getting accurate news and info is difficult right now. I imagine it would be near impossible during a 2nd civil war.
