What A Second American Civil War Will Look Like

So, if readers would like to stay in reality mode, here is what a Second American Civil War would look like. I suspect Mr. Nuckols is not far off, from other things I have read. First, a short biography to establish Nuckols' bona fides:

I have spent many years in countries that have suffered civil war and its horrors, such as Russia (including Chechnya), Syria, Lebanon, Croatia, Bosnia, and Kosovo. I have also carefully studied the history of revolutions and civil conflict. And until recently I would never have believed a second civil war in America to be possible. But the warning signs are all there, and they began appearing most visibly when Donald Trump became the Republican nominee for president. He is the first American politician that strikes fear into the hearts of both the deep state and the radical left. And that fear makes them extremely dangerous.

The Bolshevik October Revolution of 1917 was carried out by a mere few thousand party members in St. Petersburg. And it was sudden and unexpected, the Bolshevik Central Committee made the decision to launch a coup d’etat only hours before its execution. In fact, as late as July 1917 Lenin himself did not expect a communist revolution in his lifetime. The Russian Civil War that followed is a horrifying story of savage carnage and obscene violence.

Having studied other civil conflicts, he believes, quite rightly, that if we have one, it will be equally bloody, equally atrocious. These people, who would perpetrate such a thing, are convinced that normal Americans, you and I, are subhuman to begin with. And the many professors, journalists, and those hoping to take part in the spoils are what Lenin termed "useful idiots."

Much of the mainstream media will initially be warmly supportive. A few so-called conservatives at The New York Times may meekly protest that while the ends of the revolution are laudable, perhaps the means are a bit too messy. But most of the liberal media will fall into lockstep, in the belief that as long as they are supportive, the coup leaders will allow them to stay in business. Many Americans will believe their pro-coup propaganda and quietly submit, or at least refrain from overt resistance.

The faculties at Harvard, Yale, and Princeton will pass resolutions of fervent support, and their brainwashed students will rush to enlist in the revolution before all the excitement passes. Likewise, left-leaning foundations and oligarchs will promise financial support. And the Federal Reserve will flood the economy with debased currency.

Not all Democrat politicians will turn traitor, but there will be some prominent establishment “statesmen” who will betray our country. They will naively believe that they will be able to control the revolution and turn it to their own purposes. When their fig leaf of respectability is no longer required, they will get the fate they deserve. But their role will be critical, to give coup leaders the guise of “continuity of government” while they seize the critical levers of power.

America’s external enemies will not sit by idly. The new revolutionary government will offer generous terms in return for “foreign assistance” (meaning secret police), and troops if necessary. Expect a Treaty of San Antonio whereby Mexico “recovers her historic territories” of Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and southern California. Russia will expect a return of Alaska (and its oil) to the Motherland. China and the European Union will demand we surrender our economic sovereignty and become vassals of Beijing and Brussels. And, of course, the United Nations will offer to send in the “blue helmets” to “restore civil order.” North Korea, Cuba, Venezuela, and Iran will all also want in on the spoils in return for “technical support.”

Overall, Nuckols paints a very dark picture, one which I suspect from watching the Left agitate so far, is not far from the truth. The journalists,the professors, and the traitor politicians will all eventually be sacrificed. They always are. Such movements always have plenty of Che Guevara's around who have a lot of scores to settle with lead. And if you haven't figured it out by now, the Left is usually doing what it accuses of right of doing. So, they have been working hand in glove with Russia and China all along. And, of course, one of the first things they will do is actively confiscate the guns. They don't want pesky American patriots to be able to resist.

Unfortunately, a large percentage of the population will go along in hopes of being able to get along. It is, of course, a false hope. The people who now are telling you to wear a mask are those who will betray you in the breech.  Wearing a mask is  a way of separating those who will fight from those who will submit.

Once again, I think we are done for, short of a miracle.  Our only hope is in God Almighty.  I suggest you pray.
