here's another possible spark. So far the left has gone after primarily three churches.

1) the synagogues. Historically, American Jews are more "it'll never happen here" than "Never AGAIN"

2) The Catholic Church. The Catholics, for the most part, got burned out on violence, between the 30 years war, and the British Catholic v Protestant, and Catholic v catholic lite {All the guilt, 99% less pope} (Church of England) wars. and

3) The Orthodox, who seem to spend all of their religious violence on each other and the Muslims.

So let's consider what happens if the next church they decide to mess with is the Church of Latter-day Saints. The Mormons have a history of using violence to protect their own, it's a lot more recent than any other Christian faith's violence, and they aren't repentant about it at all.

Instead of "Try that in a small town" lets see "try that against a Temple of the LDS" Of course the Southern Baptists can also get spicy, and their willingness to use violence, while not as full blown as the LDS, is still right there... And then there's the Asatru. Violence IS part of our religion.

As far as they think about anything, I suspect the Left automatically lumps you into the same "pagan like Wicca, therefore on our side" category, so they probably won't go after Asatru the religion.

oh, what a shame. I would rather like having them take a shot at me. Sort of like why fur protesters don't protest biker leather.

I sense a gap here:

"And two assassination attempts on a presidential nominee, ON TOP OF"

I think you meant to put more on the end.

"If you got through 2020 because of deliver-to-home consumables, in a red-blue conflict, that would be a problem."

Forget deliver-to-home consumables. Start thinking in terms of life with no electricity. There's not much easier to take down than our power grid, and there's a couple of components, mostly high voltage transformers, that we don't make in this country anymore.

Also, what makes you think there will only be a civil war? Newscum out in CA is having closed-door meetings with Chinese government officials. If the balloon goes up, I expect him to hand over the CA ports in a heartbeat.

I was trying to keep this to a minimum, not write a novel. Four other people have beaten me to it.
