“When the weak want to give an impression of strength they hint menacingly at their capacity for evil. It is by its promise of a sense of power that evil often attracts the weak.” — Eric Hoffer

I believe there will be war. I will be a non-traditional war, like "the troubles" in Northern Ireland. Businesses and homes will be bombed. And it will be based on religious belief: Trumpism vs. other.

In 1932-33, American fascists tried and failed. Read business plot in wikipedia.

In 1945, the US and her allies disposed of European and Japanese fascism. We Yanks may soon have to dispose of another home-grown fascism.

The greater majority of these fools that are spouting this nonsense would shit their pants and run like hell if they were ever caught in a real fire fight

Elmer Stewart Rhodes, founder of the far-right militia group the Oath Keepers, has been indicted and arrested over his organization's alleged involvement in planning the Jan. 6 attack.

Rhodes, 56, is being charged for the first time in connection to events leading up to and on Jan. 6, according to a statement Thursday from the Justice Department. An additional 10 people, including nine others who already face separate charges in connection to the riot, were also indicted.

Rhodes and the 10 other individuals were charged with "seditious conspiracy and other charges for crimes" related to the breach of the Capitol on Jan. 6, said the DOJ.

The defendants conspired in a variety of ways, including organizing into teams that were "prepared and willing to use force and to transport firearms and ammunition into Washington, D.C.," the DOJ said, citing the indictment.

I hope it doesn't come to that. At the same time, the extremity of their actions and rhetoric comes from understanding that their belief systems are mostly based on hate, greed and envy. Some will fight to the death, because they think they have nothing to live for. Most have been manipulated to support Trump/Putin's mobocracy and race war. Turning their back on American principles, they are unfit citizens. If they want to go out in a blaze of glory, it may be necessary to oblige them.

We may need to revisit what it means to be an American citizen with voting rights, etc. A number of red states may need to be merged to reduce their power/corruption.

Or, Putin will solidify his beach-head. Blue states may need to break away. Corporations that supported Putin will find their board members have bounties on their heads, and those corporations will be the first to be screwed by Trump/Putin, just for the fun of it.

There are no real geographic lines, unless you count urban vs rural. It's not logistically likely, for one thing. Although otherwise I could see it. There's a lot of othering going on. Even in the red states the urban areas are blue. Add many blue states have red rural areas.
