Supposing an all-out shooting was broke out, over the current issues we have today, Reds vs. Blues, fighting in your neighborhood. Would you take up arms?

I and 99.9% I’m sure will not.

I was going to answer the OP, but I couldn't think of a better response than this one ^^^

If my state got invaded like it did back in 1861, yes.

But if it was because of some silly local skirmish, no.

Exactly. Let us know when and where y'all are planning to do this, and the rest of us will give you space, and then once you're all dead or wounded we'll go on as before.

No. A Civil War would not fix anything in the country for most Americans in any way shape or form.

I could see a French-style revolution at some point if Congress does not address the issues Americans are really dealing with. Arguing about Abortion, Culture wars, WOKE, and Transgender does not affect home prices, inflation, food prices, the cost of having children, declining birth rate due to cost, poor school systems, expensive healthcare system, on and on.

I swear both parties do everything they can to avoid addressing actual issues that Americans need to be addressed.

We're no where near in the position of the French lower class in the Revolution. We're not starving - a quick glance will show you that.

A little bit of economic pressure isn't going to cause a revolution. We're not even uncomfortable, let alone in abject misery.

You wouldn't have a choice obviously.

There needs to be a peaceful, admissible separation of libs and "conservatives". Their ideologies completely are polar opposites.
