See for example the article I just posted in let's make fun of Trump, etc. about a former officer who resigned from Fox News. "Four decades ago, I took an oath as a newly commissioned officer. I swore to 'support and defend the Constitution,' and that oath did not expire when I took off my uniform." he said.
Quote: If we go to war, we will no longer be casual acquaintances on the internet, we will be wartime adversaries and whatever happens to you in blue territory ain't going to matter to me.Right
Quote: As far as I'm concerned, the Bloods and Crypts, the Neo-Nazi's, MS-13, radical Islamic groups and other criminal/lawless groups can do whatever they want within blue cities and the Reds can do whatever they want to do within blue states to weaken the power of blue state(s) while a war of attrition is being fought all over the map.
ha ha. "the Bloods and Crypts, the Neo-Nazi's, MS-13, radical Islamic groups and other criminal/lawless groups" ARE the Red groups, and if they do "whatever they want," they will be arrested or otherwise dealt with. Yes, the Reds will do what they can, but they will be defeated by the superior forces of the USA. I expect the gun fanatics, tax cheaters, religious wackos, xenophobes, racists and other red rebels will be a distinct minority; most Americans will continue to accept the rule of law, including sensible gun regulations, sensible immigration policies and reasonable taxes and social programs. Red American terrorists will be dealt with in the same way that the USA deals with terrorists today.
Myself, and I suspect I speak for many blues, the reds may very well be welcome this time (unlike your predecessors, the grays) to secede, and if you develop an alternative group of red states, you are welcome to them, as long as you don't impose your red rule over the blue territories, including if WE should be the ones who decide to secede from you guys (should my prophecy be wrong and you continue to rule the USA as you do now).
I suspect the only deterrent to this policy on our part, is what you guys will do with the natural treasures in red territories. I suspect they would be despoiled rather quickly, and that you would contribute mightily to global warming with no willingness to change. So that remains an obstacle to allowing reds to secede, just as allowing slavery was in the end not acceptable to the blues in 1861-1865. I don't know if blues today would be willing to fight you guys over this environmental issue or not, though. It depends on how stiff your resistance is, I imagine. But if you want to continue to kill yourselves off with guns, that should be OK, as long as we have stiff border controls to keep them out of blue territory.
