When states start ignoring the federal government and start breaking off and there being no consequences, that will be the clearest sign of it. The EARLIEST signs will be the USA getting kicked out of its foreign bases; but we havent seen any of that yet.

That makes you a bunch of moronic sheep, and fucking idiot sheep can't wage war because they're fucking idiot sheep![/b] [/quote] No, the country will fracture and multiple states will form individual countries and elect their own leaders....

Original Message
I'm wondering what a modern day civil war in the US would look like?
How would it happen? What would happen? How would it effect the average citizen? Would we all be taking up guns and aiming them at family and friends with differing opinions?
Would the righty's kill the lefty's?
Instead of using guns would hackers attack the govn't websites, leak info and possibly hack other tactical targets such has power plants, water systems, rail.. etc.
Would some giant corporation step in and form it's own govn't?
Would there be martial law, and if so.. do you think some our own military soldiers would defect and defend whatever side they choose?
Would there be an Eeastern US and Western US or possibly even more... the Southern states, the NorthEastern States..etc.
I know it's pretty bleak but just something I've been thinking about for a while and I'm wondering what others are thinking?
Is a civil war even possible in the United States this day and age?
Thoughts? Opinions?
