Poll: Left vs Right in a Civil War. Who will win?

[BoomerD]

Only GOOD answer...NO ONE would win...both sides would be losers...

The "gun-loving right" MIGHT be victorious in some of the battles...but in the end, we'd all lose.

We're all already losing.

And I can't wait until people realize the political parties aren't really all that far apart; but rather are joined together in their neverending quest to retain power and screw the public for all they can get.

So true. And I would add that all of this bickering and partisan bs that goes on between the partisans only further serves those political parties by providing cover and obfuscating what really goes on in DC.

The army wins by default.

the US military won't fight US civilians, not in large number/all out war
it won't happen
if the Egyptian military wasn't willing to massively kill their own, you think US military (guys like TallBill and the others here who have served, or think of people you know that have been in army/marines, etc) will go into all out fighting against our own people

nope, the govt would collapse

there could be fighting in places as far as 'civil unrest' , but not large battles of US Army vs State Militia, the army is too diverse and not loyal to a 'ruling class', like in other countries

As ex-military, I agree.

How are the lefty gun grabbing hippie pussies going to wage a war? With speeches? If they bring the country to that point the liberals are truly fucked.

You damn righties keep forgetting all the illegal guns that fall in the hands of us Lefties every single day. You aren't the only ones carrying guns.

I'll be on the front lines holding my gun sideways picking you guys off one by one.

The Left will have plenty of guns due to you greedy rights selling them to us for profit over your own people.

Do you REALLY believe that folks on the left are all anti-gun? You'd be in for a big surprise. Most of the Democrats I know have guns. Some even qualify as "gun nuts" because they have guns, guns, and more guns...and thousands of rounds of ammunition.

Not all Democrats are "lefty gun grabbing hippie pussies," even many of the seriously liberal people I know are avid hunters.
While the "war" as based on this stupid OP's premise would be fought more-or-less along party lines...there'd be a lot of "crossing over" because not everyone is as partisan as folks think.

Sometimes I think we're overdue for a revolution in this country. Take back the government of "We the People" from "We the Corporations."

That's why I wanted clarification on what makes a "hippie". A LOT of hippies don't have wings, and reject all the bullshit that gets passed off as politics in this country.

I'm sure I speak for a lot of folks when I politely request you guys take the childish attitudes, name calling, and whatever else passes for political "Discussion" over to P&N.

Even if they were all Anti-Gun, once a War breaks out they'll change their minds.

What's going to be funny when it does happen, is all the guns owners that don't train with their guns are going to get raped.

Mars Attacks shows what is likely to happen.

 

[AstroManLuca]

If the South secedes, the North wins, regardless who who wins more battles. Southern states are a drain on our resources; they're freeloaders who get more in federal assistance than they pay in taxes.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Left-wing doesn't mean anti-gun hippie. Stalin and Mao were commies but that didn't keep them from raping and torturing dissenters.

 

[FoBoT]

As ex-military, I agree.

yes, as a veteran i see non-veterans think of the military as some thing out of a hollywood movie, they fail to remember these are people, their neighbors , friends and relatives, with feelings and thoughts.

 

[Jaskalas]

Cause a true war, and the first thing to go will be your food and water supplies, after your electricity. Good luck surviving it.

 

[trenchfoot]

I honestly can't wait until someone finally breaks and this country is torn apart and thrown into a full Civil War.

I like to think of myself as one of those far out Lefties that would love to see the mentally-challenged Righties pounded right into the ground.

The Hippies gathering on Wall St. is the first sign of an upcoming war...and in the end, I would believe that sense and humanity will win out against Conservative racism and false sense of self-worth.

What does ATOT think? Will the Hippies or Teabaggers win out in Civil War 2? Vote now.

Please add the option: No civil war

The last US Civil War was the deadliest war in American history, resulting in the deaths of 620,000 soldiers and an undetermined number of civilian casualties. Historian John Huddleston estimates the death toll at ten percent of all Northern males 20–45 years old, and 30 percent of all Southern white males aged 18–40.

 

[NetGuySC]

I think the left would win for it is always easier to blame someone else for your failures. The libs would quickly realise now that they won, there is not anyone to pay for their free healthcare, free housing, food stamps, govt assisted electric, water and phone bills. Soon after the "oh $hit" monment would arrive, the deer in the headlights look will grow and the stark realization that they actually lost would begin to settle in.

 

[dmcowen674]

There is no question the left would pummel the sissy right.

 

[umbrella39]

Unless the Lefties manage to get gun confiscation passed and completed before the showdown its going to be a fucking landslide for the Righties.

Yeah because lefties never carry guns nor could they figure out how to own and use one if needed! Who won last time?

 

[Ausm]

You damn righties keep forgetting all the illegal guns that fall in the hands of us Lefties every single day. You aren't the only ones carrying guns.

Are you claiming Righties would fuck their own over for the sake of profit???? That can't be....I know some Rabid Right Wingers who would screw a Cadaver for a dollar

 

[etrigan420]

Cascadia FTW.

There doesn't even have to be a war...

I think a lot of us would go voluntarily.
