      I mean 6 months is a stretch, I’m thinking next week or so at this point. First time Trump orders military to shoot at civilians I fully expect the west coast to secede, followed by New England

        That would be great improvement to both Canada and New England/west coast however I do not see that ever happening given trigger happy authoritarian in charge would simply use that as an excuse for military occupation of said states. They’d use the same excuse as Russia did for invading crimea except they’d sort of have a point because there is no “legal” way for a state to secede by its own volition I don’t think.

          Well yea, it’ll be a civil war - you’ll see the military fracture as parts of the military will side with both sides - you also have to remember that the mast majority of people live in New England and the west coast.

          It’s not going to be “ the military gets called in” it’s going to be “half the military went awol and took equipment with them, along with civilian groups joining up to defend their states”.

          And since Trump pretty much pissed off all our allies, and Russia is a bit busy at the moment, we will probably see support given to the seceding states by Europe, as no one wants another dictator led super power.

          Civil war is coming, at this point the only thing that could stop it is if orange douche canoe, his couch fucking sidekick and the “I totally don’t masturbate to gay porn” speaker of the house had a Russian style window experience.
