How would you manage to survive a civil war?

I'd have to use my wit, communication and empathy skills and avoidance. I'm too old to put into battle... I can pull a muscle just getting out of bed, how am I gonna go "house to house" in like Chicago? Not gonna win that. It probably be a war against the United Republic of Leftist Left minded highly left Gorillas Cyborg AI robots. Because I don't see those people picking up guns... but their robots will... to defned them. oh.. isn't that scary to think they are programming "AI"... Whom is "right"?

I don't see myself shooting people so much... we'll not too many. I'll shoot some, but I'll pray for them first. I'll fight for right and wrong, but that does get confused and confounded. Trying to communicate with some people demonstrates how divided people can be and some decisions can come down to war (e. g. strength, strategy, skill determines whom is right). In general, we should avoid war... it's awful. Find peaceful ways of coexistence.

Not everyone is gonna think the same, just don't jack with my world by puking ones vomit into my life. If you don't like ones vomit reality, then change to mine. And that is the problem... idiots don't know they are idiots or causing problems. Left and Right would agree and point finger at the other.

Other than that, I'd survive on chocolate bars and wild edibles. I'd den with bears.

That very much depends upon how the war starts and who is on what side.

Until the Mara Largo raid the most like scenario was a low grade insurgency that would make certant parts of the federation effectively ungovernable.

Now its a little more likely there will an election dispute with a president and his faction refusing to step down. Thus we would be talking about a larger war between the states, which this time would technically be a civil war as both sides would be fighting for control of the same state.

In both cases significant parts of the federation would cease to trade and do business with other parts of the federation meaning prices for everything go thou the roof with many thing becoming unavailable. By far the most serous problem for everyone will be food.

Thou initially there would be more than enough for everyone as the war drags on and more infrastructure is destroyed it will become more and more unaffordably and unavailable for more and more people.

Thou many would die from bullets and bombs far more of us will die of starvation.

So maybe stocking up on food would be the best thing you can do.

"there will an election dispute with a president and his faction refusing to step down"
WILL be? There already has been, didn't you notice? They're still lying about it today.

@goaded As pointed out if Trump didn't want to step down thanks to that enormous centralized standing army congress has provided him he would not have to.

You need to stop trying to mislabel a protest/riot as something completely different and far more dangerous.

Unless of course you really do want a dictatorship in which case keep at it sooner or later the people who believe you will carry out said believes and use it to end the republic by using a similarly flimzy excuse to jail their enemies.

[goaded]

Bullshit. He needed a fig leaf of a legal process or the military would have been entitled to refuse to follow his illegal orders.

Hence the fake electors scheme and the claim Pence could baselessly refuse to count some state's votes. When that didn't work, removing Pence from the Capitol or otherwise halting the vote count by violence would have had the same effect. Either would have allowed traitors in the Republican party to proclaim Trump president.

I'm not mislabelling anything, you're trying to normalise sedition, so that Trump can try again.

[Opinion Owner]

@goaded The military would follow his orders or be replaced with someone who would.

A military organization including but not limited to federal police do not in practice have the ability to refuse orders no matter how 'illegal' said orders are. Countless presidents including Lincoln demonstrated this fact. This is the nature of the command structure which is designed to have this effect.

All trump actually asked for is for the congress to send the electors back to request verification giving more time to investigate fraud.

When the senate refused Trump did nothing and left peacefully. Just because his supporters held an unarmed protest a small number of whom may have been rioting benounced to almost all the rest who had no way of knowing what they were doing.

Is not evidence of trump doing anything. Indeed the protest itself provided trump with both an excuse and an opportunity to seize power and force his way. to allegedly "deal with the emergency" demcorat were claiming.

Trump did no such thing, the only thing he did do was upon becoming aware is asking everyone to leave peacefully and they did. Which tells you it wasn't really a riot for almost any of them. Most of whom were being escorted and had no way of knowing being in what was until that day the people's own house was at all wrong.

[goaded]

No. Trump wanted the House, one vote per state, to declare him president. There wouldn't have been anybody to riot if he hadn't called them there, so telling them to go home hours later and only when he'd lost deserves no praise. He's now calling those people, people convicted with due process of violent crimes against the country "hostages" and promising to pardon them, like he pardoned people who obstructed justice for him.

If his generals refused to carry out his illegal orders and he fired them until he found a traitor, what makes you think the colonels would carry out their new generals' illegal orders? Then the majors, captains... They swear an oath to the constitution, not the president.

[IslaTheWitch]

I would probably pack my family and friends and move us to a peaceful place... war is not something I'm willing to deal with

[ChicoFromThe305]

I'd pick the side that will obviously win, republicans will shoot everyone while the other side fights and defends with their feelings, if they don't just run and hide of course 💀

[Agape93]

Bye bye California lol

[ChicoFromThe305]

The first state to go for sure, the only hope they have is the people they dispise, the gangsters, but let's be foreal they will probably join the republicans as well ha

[Agape93]

Long as they leave me and mine alone, I don't give a fuck what they do. Moment they hurt my loved ones, I'll kill everyone, regardless of their side and culpability.

[ChicoFromThe305]

Fair enough lol

[ShadezMcgee]

Probably hoard out whatever survival tools and weapons I can have and hide somewhere in the bluffs or mountains with only my immediate family.

I feel that trying to form alliances between mutual neighbors as much as I love them would be detrimental and a possible liability down the line

[jahaims]

It depends on which side most of the military is on. I have several properties with plenty of resources to hold out. With GPR and bunker busters there isn't a safe place on Earth from the military. I would assume if America had a civil war it would turn into us getting invaded while we are weak anyways.

[worldscolide]

A shit ton of ammo, years worth of supplies, and neighbors who feel the same as I do.

[Danny_dan92]

Put the skills I’ve acquired from the government to use

[NathanDavis]

would stay out of it...

[mandyfire98]

I wouldn't fight in it.

[CuriousMufuxka]

With a shit ton of liquor!

[Abbycado]

Poorly XD

[normalice]

Luck

[noohair]

Ammo and food.
