    They’re idiots if they think that any sort of civil war would be broken up like that. It’d be the interior states versus the coastal states essentially. The coastal states could just cut off all outside shipments to the interior and watch them just decay.

    And there wouldn’t be an all out war because the ideologies at contention here aren’t readily segregated to one area of the country or the other in a stronger fashion. We’re highly mixed in a lot of areas. What would happen is lots of civil unrest and let’s be honest here, right wing perpetuated violence.

      This.

      They also think they’d be the ‘majority’ in this fight. And sure, they’d have a lot of land. But people… Money? No.

      When Biden won, something like over 80% of the GDP broke for the Democrats.

      Good luck funding a war with 20% of the money they country makes. There’s counties in California that make that much probably.

        I was going to say “this is yet another one of those ‘land doesn’t vote’ maps”.

        They dumped a lot of conservative states like Utah, Wyoming, and Montana into group 1, but group 1 has California. That’s where the people are.
