Most likely outcome of possible second American Civil War - Lemmy.World

From many outcomes of a possible second American Civil War, which one do you think is more likely, like in Civil War (film 2024) where President lost and is executed in Oval Office (good guys win) or like in The Handmaid’s Tale (TV series 2017-2025) where USA became theonomic, totalitarian society similar to Islamic State but with Christianity as a front (bad guys win)?

Unfortunately, the “good guys” in your scenario are also mostly the guys with no guns.

That is not true in the slightest amount. And a lack of firearms does not prevent armed resistance in the slightest.

So you’re telling me, majority of democrats are well armed in support of owning guns and lack of arms does not prevent armed resistance… alrighty then

In the US it takes all of two minutes to become well armed. Now well trained is another matter.

If you’re on the fence the time to become trained is right now. Otherwise if you’re handling a firearm without understanding them then you’re a danger to yourself and others.

I don’t think there will be any war. It will be more like the movie Idiocracy.

Reality was already like Idiocracy and has been forever.

If you missed that it’s because you’re not “Not Sure” you’re one of the people you’re laughing at.

Curse that movie all to hell! Every time I say I’m not sure about something I immediately think of it. Love it!

There’s so many great things about the movie, but it’s also one of the most understood.

It’s just insanely ironic that so many people misunderstand it. They 110% think they do, and explaining it to them usually doesn’t help and you get the same reaction as in the movie.

That being said, I had a 60+ year old woman yell “your car is small fag!” At me like a week ago in traffic. It was actively snowing and she had her window all the way down to smoke a cig, I honestly don’t know what I did to upset her.

But I just immediately pictured the dildo car from Idiocracy and couldn’t stop laughing for way too long. She just said it so hateful, but it was such a stupid insult. She had the charlie kirk “freedom” on her back window, so I think she may have just been driving around looking for anything to tell about.

As if it would ever happen that the good guys win, sadly.

The “good guys” in America are like three humanist hippies, two empathetic Marxist and one religious dude a la John Brown, they’re not winning shit in a country full of self-centered hedonistic nihilists that range from “mellow” and fearful to reckless and bloodthirsty. My honest advice to any American who sees the Khorne-worshipping empire they live in for what it is is to emigrate to a somewhat stable country in the global South (don’t worry, America is retreating, the South will rise), maaaaaaaybe Spain if you really need to be in the West. You might be broke, but maybe your children won’t be, and at least you can raise them in a society of normal human beings and not self-worshipping degenerates.

There cannot be a 2nd civil war. We have a nationalized military. States do not have their own armies and they are not trying to raise them. We have nuclear weapons all around the country. We are past the point where civil war is possible. At best, a single city might try to barricade itself off.

Balkanization is where the US is headed, and for the world’s sake I hope it gets there sooner rather than later
