    CIVIL WAR 2 preparedness thread… just in case, let’s discuss

    It’s been talked about for a few years now and with the recent assassination attempt and the current political climate, I think it’s a very real possibility. https://maristpoll.marist.edu/polls/a-nation-divided/ Where are you going IF it happens and if not, what are you doing to prepare...

    If America had a second civil war, what would the reason for it be? And would you stay and fight for the side you support or would you be a refugee?

    I just watched A24's Civil War last night (great movie that you should watch, btw) and I thought it would be an interesting thought exercise. For the US, I think it probably over gun rights or a certain president having a third term. I doubt Texas and California would enter into an alliance...

    If Trump clearly loses the 2020 election, do you believe he'll willingly leave office?

    I genuinely believe this dude would try to kick off Civil War II if he loses in November. He's openly admired dictators. He's openly talked about wanting more than two terms and even mentioned wanting to be president for life ala Xi in China. He knows that so much of his potentially violent...

    New York Times Op-Ed writer, Charles Blow, posted a short video about the First Louisiana Native Guard on his twitter page.

    Why were the Confederate leaders not punished after the Civil War???

    Just got down reading American Civil War - Wikipedia and it just :mindblown: that the Union leaders just decided to either completely pardon them or imprisoned them for a few years except the manager who ran Andersonville Prison. That's insane that you went against the government and be...
