In Minnesota, the rural Democrats are dying off and the rural communities that were controlled by them for several decades are turning into ghost towns. As a result, the more economic minded and more American minded Republicans and their voters are taking over and the economy is becoming more economically diverse. So, are you familiar with what's going on between Buckhead and Atlanta these days? Buckhead has formally declared its independence and is in the process of breaking free from from Atlanta. I think it's a good gauge what's to come and what to expect as time goes on.

Rural areas have always been more conservative in every meaning of the word -- even during the labor movement period of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.  Dogma tends to set-in in more insular communities.  They may get infuriated, but they aren't empowered, unless they decide to bring out the guns.  Then it's open rebellion.  Nothing good comes from that.

The young don't believe it can happen, not even the rural young.  If it does, then the armies are aligned and battlelines drawn.  Youth WILL show up out of pure self-interest.

Dude, the armies are already aligned and the battle lines have already been drawn and the Blue youth that show up out of pure self interest are going to find Themselves being turned against each other and slaughtered. The Blue community seems pretty insular and dogmatic these days don't you think. I suppose that you don't think or view it that way since it's very obvious to everyone else that you're one of Them. Sorry dude, I wish I was a better writer than a businessman. It's the only thing that's  keeping you in the game at this point.

In your scenario, the US Armed Services would divide between your concept of a Real America and the more diverse America. The Armed Services recruit heavily from poor people with the offering of steady work, clear direction, and career training. It is too well-disciplined to splinter. In short the Army is not on any side yet, and it will not end up on any one side unless to suppress sedition -- especially if that manifests itself in 'ethnic cleansing' or religious persecutions.  

You may expect private militias responsible to none but their leaders to establish marauding bands; the Army knows how to deal with such bands. Those bands will be put down swiftly and surely. If those marauding bands leave behind large numbers of dead, then images of such will be powerful tools for discrediting them.

It is clear that Trump tried in every way to steal the presidency from the people, who elected Joe Biden instead. He asked the army to steal voting machines so they could be tampered with. He asked state officials to change the votes. He asked his attorney general to declare the election invalid. He asked his vice president to change the electoral vote. Only the willingness of the officials which he himself appointed to obey the constitution saved our republic from this tramp pretender. Yet you on the red side oppose the constitution and instead obey this demagogue tyrant, and organize militias carrying illegal guns to do your will.

You Classic Xer think that your side will stay loyal to this idiot liar and cheater. I doubt that they will. If Trump is re-elected in 2024, probably through tampering with the electoral vote and suppressing voters' rights, he will appoint officials only loyal to him, not to the constitution, and who can be depended upon to disobey the oath which is administered to them. You think the people will stay loyal to the tyrant demagogue, but this may not happen.

Your goal is ethnic cleansing, on Trump's theory that urban people of color have no rights and should not vote, or that their votes are invalid and should not be counted. But these people will also have a voice and a power, and they may continue to have the state and the constitution on their side, instead of on yours.
