The Blue cities will become death traps.
The Red cities will take a little longer but will fall the same fate.
The turf wars and ability to run wild w/o the po po there to harrass them, the hood will destroy itself in a few weeks. The trailer parks will not be too far behind, once the drugs run out they will start looting wherever for food / drugs, you name it.
The worse places are going to be states like California, oregon, New York, Illinois, etc where the criminals have more rights than law abiding citizens. That will quickly try to metastasize into the more normal states and they will be quickly surprised when they are stopped literally dead in their tracks by the citizens who will refuse to put with up with that nonsense.
I can’t see a full blown civil war yet, at least not starting that way. You may have periods of unrest in spots. Again, places like Berkley, Portland, where the bernie boys have been allowed to tantrum and destroy with impunity. You may see some cells try to erupt in other places, but again, the entire US is not as insane as those spots, so those little pockets are going to get snuffed fairly quickly. You will probably see a lot more problems in liberal states at first, because they tend to allow their citizens to get away with a lot more crime. I can see varying degrees of martial law being imposed as the inept governments try to deal with this, or more specifically blame it ‘on the right’ rather than blame it on the people who are actually doing the fighting and looting. There are going to be clashed with the citizens and the police. The media will twist the real story all out of proportion in an effort to actually catalyze the civil war, because that is how they plan on taking over America is by force, end freedoms then set up the police / socialist state. There will be more law .vs. citizen encounters that end badly. There will be a very fast uptick in police brutality. We have already seen how some of the blue states reacted to a little taste of absolute power, and when they send a 15 car swat team to a restaurant that is serving over the limit people in it’s carry out line, well you get the idea how they are going to react when real violence starts happening.
This rise in police to citizen clashes is eventually going to push us into a martial law / curfew type situation, at which point, the gloves are off and it’s on.
I just hope that when it does blow up to that point, the people remember that it is the politicians that brought us to that point, and hold them accountable / responsible first, before they can crawl off and hide it out.
This event is probably not going to happen all at once, but you will see continual ‘hot spots’ arise until eventually they get longer and longer and it’s perpetual. With that, there may be days or even weeks, depending on where are at, that you may be forced to hunker down. With this Id strongly recommend that you have your food stored up and fresh water since you probably will not be able to get out to go get some.
I also wish to say something else that is going to upset a lot of people but anyone with half a brain knows this.
You KNOW who your neighbors are, and you KNOW who is likely to be a problem, if water, food and electricity goes away, and lawlessness takes over the land. It would be in your very best interests to take care of problems very early in the game, before those problems, find a buddy and are kicking in your door at 3 am with a shotgun trying to steal what you have and bring harm to your family.
I’ll leave it at that.
