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.

Yeah, and also keep Virginia, let’s make sure that the neo confederates don’t keep that state
Guys, did someone eat Maryland?
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.
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
They would try to take Atlanta and then their loss would have them running for the hills.
And Syria and the Balkan civil wars
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.
Think of the exodus from the US to Canada. Most people in the USA, 99%, just want their ordinary life.
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 southerners wouldn't even survive a proper winter the north gets.
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.

"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
It's because they have fewer limits on what they are willing to do.
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
Well here is the thing though. When I looked at the data the highest per capita was Wisconsin. Another high outlier was Michigan because of Detroit.
So it really is a mixed bag. I think this is why university professors talk about things like systemic racism.
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.
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.
The likely scenario would be NY and CA joining other coastal states and Chicago, and the red states glomming on to Texas and Florida, the major GDP centers of each "base." It'd be interesting to see what would happen economically there, since the red states overwhelmingly (ironically) use so much more welfare and social support programs. No judgement, I believe in social programs

I don't normally judge, but I do when people pull up the ladder.
Adorable; I'm betting on one, as a god fearing Westerner. Southies talk big shit, but even their shooters are gravy seals. Coincidentally, did y'all know a majority of the Armed forces are recruited West of the Mississippi? Food for thought.
2 about to quickly realize how much of 1 and 3's tax dollars they depend on.
