Whatever comes out of the ashes of the civil war. Won't be what we have now, and it won't be a return to the Constitution. It will be authoritarian. Take your pick as to which one is better, because both are terrible in History.
I agree with almost all of that, except that the future is not predictable. Past Events do not prove future events/performance.
I sure as hell do not want a civil war, but I like to wargame different situations.
i probably would not survive a civil war just because I wouldnt be able to get my meds, for a long time, and that means I would probably have a long painful degeneration of my health.
I do not want a civil war, but, again, I would rather have a civil war and take my chances than live under a Marxist government.
Back in 1979, while driving/RTO for my CO, we went to the Fulda Gap region of Germany, and I saw the East German frontier. It was a prison camp from horizon to horizon. I will never for get it. All thought of a moral equivalence between us and them was gone from my mind permanently. We have it so much better, and I am not talking about consumer economics.
I knew I guiy in atomic demolitions, and he told me that the effective distance that they could trigger an explosion was limited due to the resistance in the wire. It was about half the distance of lethal radiation from the nuke itself.
He was on a suicide mission and everybody else in their unit.
Like him, I would rather die than live under communism. And millions agree with me on that.
