If we had a civil war the end result would be the western US would be controlled by China, the eastern half by Russia. They would both pillage our resources. They would probably let us battle for a while until our resources waned and our economy crumbled. Then they would step in.
To assume we would engage in civil war and it would happen in a vacuum without our enemies piling on and taking advantage of the situation is naive. Careful what you wish for.
If they have enough freshwater and fertile soil to grow their own food they're rich. Many areas look rich on paper but they're nothing without supply chains, which are starting to break.
Urban life is completely unsustainable without the rural areas. The urban areas became rich only by pillaging the natural resources of the rural areas.
Cities may briefly grow as energy expenses rise and suburbs depopulate. Then they shrink as people move out to farms and small towns for work. There probably will be some border fights, mostly for water and briefly for oil.
I remember reading about Antifa's and/or BLM's plans to bus its members into rural areas to burn down farms. Well, where would they get their half-caf soy lattes from, with the farms gone? (Well, the coffee comes from Colombia or Costa Rica, but the soy is most likely domestically grown.)
In order to prevent such busing from happening during CWII, all USTA needs to do is pile garbage, animal manure, and rocks hidden inside hay bales onto expressways leading out of cities.

I signed up for this site quite a while ago, when my political views were liberal. The Biden-19 virus, and finding out that Soros and Fauci were behind it, changed all that. Now I'm more of a BoomerRuralist.

It amazing how a few conspiracy websites can change a person so profoundly.

"Conspiracy"? Or is it?
Some things just make sense. Trump was in power, and "they" wanted out oust him. There's absolutely no other reason why we needed to wreck the economy, destroy people's mental health, and loot our cities over a banal pneumonia virus.

Did you know the moon landing was faked?
