venividivici,
The Left has absolutely no idea of the grave danger they are in if they harm the Constitution and the people. I mean, a lot of us are military veterans (I am)and we know how to shoot. We understand discipline instinctively, as anyone who has gone through Basic Training can attest. And those who actually were in a combat MOS (I wasn’t)would be the natural leaders and trainers for the rest of us, in matters of tactics and how to fight. And even in those, many of us non-combat MOS veterans know a lot of it or could pick it up REAL FAST.
Those military officers and men who would support the government are also, if they are in a minority, in grave danger, since they would be specially marked as traitors (I’m sure they think we are the traitors!).
My greatest fear, however, about a civil war would be some leaders escaping overseas and maybe bringing in a foreign power to defend the government. And that is why it would have to be done very carefully with complicated execution of various aspects of it, like arresting certain people and making sure they cannot slip overseas. I could envision Russia, China, or some other countries in concert with them, coming to the aid of the deposed leadership. That’s why getting one’s hands on the nuclear weapons almost immediately would forestall that move and keep the foreign powers at bay, while things are settled here.
But seriously, we have a long road to haul to politically face and defeat the Marxists on political grounds. I would not be an EX-Marxist if I did not think, intellectually and by the evidence of history, we have the better argument and the better ground. But it won’t be easy, given the stranglehold that the Left has on the “transmission belts” of this society. They’ve worked very hard over decades to get control of those and they won’t give up that advantage without a fight.
