10. Violent ciivil war.... What shape would it take.

Mon Jan 3, 2022, 02:07 PM

Jan 2022

First traitors would be the sheriffs and police that will not enforce mask and vaccine laws. First victims will be red state election officials and maybe legislators.

From there, I don't know. A couple of thousand cars driving along Rt 80 from Wyoming to N.J. would be easily stopped. Just stop the delivery of fuel to the local gas stations.

What do you think a civil war will look like. I believe it is going to happen.

I always wonder just whom they are going to be fighting? BusterMove Jan 2022 #22

Well, they can probably count on a good portion of the military joining them. TheRealNorth Jan 2022 #24

Not a chance in hell YP_Yooper Jan 2022 #32
