Exactly. Was gonna say, 2 basically has the least healthy, least educated, most poor, and most obese people of the entire country.
Good luck
Right wingers taking notes: plenty of meat for the grinder. Check.

"But we got all dem Gravy Seals! Ain't they good for somtin'?"
Yes, and you give yourself da Beetus buying soda with the food stamps paid for by New Yorkers.
The sad part is how hard the South committed to losing. Not lost take the L and walk it off. Generational losing. Epic, century-long losing every single fucking day of every life of every redneck, cracker-ass dipshit. Systematic losing, so deeply ingrained that even when they get ahead a little bit, one fucking Yankee asswipe cons half of them out of their every last dime. And they're glad to give it up.
Roman empire levels of tragic, really.

Why are they claiming Virginia? They've been leaning against all the other Southern bullshit for a while now
If conservative voters were able to comprehend the world without the lens of the stereotypes they learned in high school, they wouldn't be conservatives.

Because they’re stuck thinking 150 years in the past.

If they were capable of learning from their mistakes they wouldn't be conservatives. Doesn't speak highly of the democrats though being unable to unseat most of them.
West Virginia exists because they didn’t want to be apart of that bullshit, though I suspect they’ve lost their way in the last couple of generations.

Absolutely wild that the Confederate States of America was literally conquered and disbanded, and yet they were allowed to keep the flag.
That's not even the Confederate flag, is a specific battle flag of some shit battalion that obviously lost.

They're idiots if they think that any sort of civil war would be broken up like that. It'd be the interior states versus the coastal states essentially. The coastal states could just cut off all outside shipments to the interior and watch them just decay.
And there wouldn't be an all out war because the ideologies at contention here aren't readily segregated to one area of the country or the other in a stronger fashion. We're highly mixed in a lot of areas. What would happen is lots of civil unrest and let's be honest here, right wing perpetuated violence.

THE USA would not break apart like that. The red oblasts would suck Texas dry and the whole damn thing would end in a financial and economic calamity. The Blue States with their GDP would form a union and align it with Canada to create another "European Union." A civil war would not worth a single American bone, just break it apart like the Czechs and Slovaks, peacefully.

1 because California
The yokels simply don't realize that all those fancy military toys they like to harp on about are designed and made in Redondo Beach at Northrop Grummen.
Skunkworks, NG, and a ton of the actual MIC is based in California.
That and a geographic fortress of the Rockies, dessert, and the plains, plus economically+ manpower + a better relationship abroad. Water would be the big choke point, but they have enough to get into desalinization if they need too.
Shit. I wonder if I should move.

A civil ar in the us wouldn't look like the last. There is no front lines, it would be more similar to Rawanda. One side has been nice enough to fly a flag to let us know where they are. Pay attention
Well 1 has most of the nukes, money, and food, as well as a really strong natural barrier. And 3 already beat 2 for reasons that remain relevant. So yeah. 1 and 3 ally to curbstomp 2.

The Jan. 6 rioters were small business owners...but there is only so much that they can do if they teamed up for civil war. They would team up with Billionaires to kick the balls in of blue collar workers. The war would destroy state/federal institutions that license workers like nurses and doctors.
Essentially this war is about the Karens fighting to run an HVAC business with unlicensed workers. Eventually the licensed workers would be divided between those that can stand up to the mean Karens of he world vs. those that can't. Doctors, machinist, would eventually be paid by the state an o.k. wage, while HVAC and such would be run by gangsters. See Venezuela, Iran and old Chile.
Essentially this war is about the Karens fighting to run an HVAC business with unlicensed workers.
"Unlicensed workers". Their final goal is enslavement or death of anyone who opposes them. Always has been, always will be.
Unfortunately, I think they won in the long run
The south will rise again...to get their welfare checks?
Not sure who is winning in this scenario.
The South fought to preserve slavery and they got a 13th Amendment carve out allowing forced servitude. They pushed minorities into convict leasing and other forms of prison labor to this day. The South is also gerrymandered to hell and back to ensure they have undue influence on national politics.
Blacks have five times the incarceration rate than whites on average. This is not just in the red states either. Even the most progressive states have two times the incarceration rate for blacks.
Yeah, still at least in progressive states it’s an improvement but not prefect. At least the progressive states are trying to be better

Yeah, any amount of detail collapses this pre-school division. Drawing lines at State borders simplifies to the extreme how mixed up the political preferences really are. Just because its a Red district doesn't mean they all vote red, and vice-versa, etc, etc...
The meme is a good example of rage-tainment. Everybody gets their 5 minutes of rage no matter whose side they're on with this meme, and not a damn thing is added to the collective understanding. While we all get robbed and crushed.
It's because they have fewer limits on what they are willing to do.
2 things:
- why are Hawaii and Alaska in group #3
- this dude does not understand wars. The south would loose for the same reason they did last time. They have no infrastructure and they can't read.
There might be a momentary advantage where 2 come out of the gate strong, as they have their stockpiles of weapons and ammo they obsess over. But they'd peter out the moment their blood pressure and cholesterol meds get depleted and the everyone else rolls their eyes and gets to down to business.

US operates its nuclear arms across 11 states:
New Mexico: Hosts the largest stockpile of weapons at the Kirtland Underground Munitions and Maintenance Storage Complex.
Washington: Home to Naval Base Kitsap-Bangor, which houses the Pacific ballistic missile submarine fleet.
Montana: Features 150 active Minuteman III Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) silos at Malmstrom Air Force Base.
North Dakota: Houses 150 active ICBM silos at Minot Air Force Base.
Wyoming & Colorado: F.E. Warren Air Force Base straddles both states, controlling another 150 operational ICBM silos.
Texas: Home to the Pantex Plant near Amarillo, the primary facility responsible for assembling and dismantling the U.S. nuclear arsenal.
Georgia: Base for the Atlantic ballistic missile submarine fleet at Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay.
Nevada: Nellis Air Force Base stores gravity bombs for nuclear-capable aircraft.
Missouri: Whiteman Air Force Base maintains the fleet of B-2 nuclear stealth bombers.
Louisiana: Barksdale Air Force Base is a key storage and operating hub for nuclear-capable B-52 heavy bombers.

Unfortunately 2 would win because they would have the backing of the entire fucking United States military with kegsbreath in control
They would view 1 and 3 as the traitors to the fascist Republic
Pretty hard to pay your army with welfare states. Also note CA has the most enlisted out of any state and would likely receive a lot of backing from Asian militaries.

Nah, historically militaries are loyal to the person signing their checks. Pretty much every state in the south but Texas is economically destitute. Private corporations would turn on the south so fast it'd snap their necks. No company would choose the market of 2 over 1 or 3, let alone both of them. California alone has enough buying power to shape regulation that's stricter than the fed.
Fortunately, they don't have the backing of the entire fucking United States military, as many tens of thousands in the military are from 1 and 3, and they will protect their families.
