Is Anyone Here Taking Preparations in Case of US Civil War?

[Waterglass]

I think the threat is overblown.

Almost every single state is a mix of liberals and conservatives, and the spectrum goes from extreme left to extreme right.  There's no single ideology that unites them into a solid core (something like a religion is usually the factor) and there's no way to tell who is who.  I could tell you in person that I was an ultra-conservative (I'm not) and you'd have no way of knowing that I was lying to save my skin (or whatever.)

However, ForeignPolicy.com disagrees with me: https://foreignpolicy.com/2021/02/18/how...ars-start/

An interesting quote from that site: "To make matters worse, as house speaker from 1995-1999, Newt Gingrich innovated a brilliant and democracy-destructive strategy for enabling his party to keep punching above its popular weight in the electorate: Just say no. Whereas Reagan considered someone who agreed with him 80 percent of the time to be a friend (not a traitor), Gingrich’s strategy forbade compromise, which is essential for any working democracy. Either Gingrich got everything he wanted or he refused to play."

tl;dr -- To stop a war, learn to compromise and to work within that compromise.

I'd like to think they were wrong.  A civil war will completely destroy every advance we've made for the past 248 years.  The rest of the world will do just fine, but we'll start seeing the most affluent and the most educated flee the country for other nations.  They'll do better for the influx of our money and our educated but America will fall into decline.

I think we need to focus more on getting along with each other and with trying to NOT have a civil war.

I agree and hope to but this country is full of hate and has been for decades since the 1960's.

Its now generational. I am a Yankee living in the South. As in South Carolina near Columbia. Its rated #1 for corrupt politics. Nickki Haley? I am doing extensive remodeling so I have many former military trades doing work. When they eat their lunch here they get into the rise of the South again via a civil war. They even have a fantasy that Columbia will be the next Washington DC.  Based on other weird things I see with high placed State and Federal workers living in the neighborhood. Who knows.

A few years abck I considered running a honey tours business when I found out what you guys pay over there, not able to do it now because health issues, but if you want Jarrah honey, well Mohummad sometimes has to go to the mountains.
