They don't really have a choice.

They will be slaughtered, Billy.

1. Defender has the advantage.
1. They can't match nuclear, army or navy capability (especially navy)
1. They can't match people.
1. They can't match money.
1. They can't match manufacturing.

The only advantage they have is "Jesus", which, as we all know, is actually a disadvantage (though they are blissfully unaware).

Al, not Billy. Al Borland was the "Home Improvement" sidekick with the catchphrase "I don't think so Tim"

Well, I think you're wrong, but I hope you're right. Quite frankly I'd like to see the MAGAts sorted in the way the Confederates ***should ***have been sorted.

However I don't think your equation adds up. You have a base assumption in there that the US military will swap or schism to support the blue states and I don't think it's going to work out that way. Militaries dont easily or lightly turn against their leadership - not even ones as badly treated as the Russians (and the US military are a thousand percent better treated than the Russians), and if you walk into any military base it's Fox News you'll see on every TV not CBS or ABC. The military has always primarily voted rightwing and heavily did so at the last election iirc. There are certainly veterans who are anti trump but that doesn't make them the majority.

My opinion is there will be some rebellion which will be quickly put down.

Can't prove it either way, neither of us can. So I think your version is hopium, but I hope you're right.
