    Not the people fighting for what’s right. America is spread too far out to properly gather any sort of a large enough force to do real fighting, unless you’re the government with an already existing force spread across the entire country. And like with any civil war, both sides simultaneously lose and win since both sides are…ya know…technically the same. Infighting resulting in massive casualties only benefits other countries looking to take over that ego stroking title of “worlds strongest”

    All that to say…nobody will win, we all lose.

        Oh that’s so simple! Why didn’t we think of that!

        You underestimate the desperation in this country and the lack of social support networks and the amount that that would devastate so many working class people within a week.

        Let alone how difficult it is to organize that without interference or sabotage

        More than half of US households are living paycheck to paycheck.

        Not going to work = no money = no food, no home.

        Not going to work = that’s not gonna happen. People will continue to keep their heads down. “First they came for…”

        Honestly, I’d love to see how our government would handle that.
