Hey, how's THAT for a dramatic thread title, huh?
Anyway, it may be my imagination, but it seems like the frequency of veiled and unveiled threats of a coming Civil War are increasing, so I'd like to see if we can specific. Enough generalities, let's set serious.
What would a post-Civil War America actually LOOK like?
Based on what I've read, I can think of only three goals the Civil Warsters (?) might have:
1. Enough dead Democrats so that Republicans would win all the elections and we'd have one-party rule
2. People are living in such fear of the "patriots" with the guns that they vote Republican to save their fucking lives
3. Giving the "patriots" some land so that they can be patriots there. Give it a name like, uh, TRUMP.
If we go with #3, some decisions would need to be made. Obviously the West Coast would not work, nor the Northeast. Plus, it would be better if we kept the new countries contiguous for logistical reasons. Looking at the map below, maybe the "patriots" would like something like Texas (obviously you'd have to get rid of a shitload of brown people), Oklahoma, Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri, Tennessee and Kentucky, something like that. I'd personally be willing to throw in Utah, but Arizona and New Mexico would be problematic.
Anyway -- thoughts?
