You hear a good bit of that talk from a number of people who were aghast at the negative effects their children experienced from wearing masks and learning remotely on the computer. But it’s all well and good for the kiddos to have unimaginable bloodshed in their town.
A number of those people know that if you selected a random hundred people on “their side” and a random hundred people on “the other side,” they’d be the ones who are better armed and would able to win a battle easily. I don’t know how many of them think of broader logistical concerns, a number of hard-to-anticipate x factors, etc. Nor what a clear objective and satisfactory outcome is.
They certainly don’t countenance how a US civil war, even a relatively brief one, would probably cause the global economy to plunge into a depression, and how likely it would be to diminish US standing in the world.
I abhor the prospect of violence, so I consider that sufficient reason to abandon that talk. But for those willing to endure the horror of widespread bloodshed, I’m astonished that they actually envision good outcomes on the other side of it.
