I would think it would come down to Trump supporters/people with conservative political beliefs versus Hillary supporters/people with liberal political beliefs.

The United States is unique. It's not like communist countries in recent history such as Russia, China, Cuba, etc. In those countries the military and police force supported the leftist dictator. In the United States the type of people that support conservative policies and the 2nd Amendment are pro-cop/pro-military. I know the type of person that joins the military. I was in the military. It is the good 'ole boy from Texas or Oklahoma that likes to hunt and is pro 2nd Amendment. The type of person that supports leftist policies is the college professor, or the actor in Hollywood, or the art critic that lives in Manhattan.

You guys would understand this analogy. If this was a football game it would be like Alabama playing an FCS school. Vegas would have the conservatives as 60pt favorites.

My thoughts is that the GOP is in complete shambles,  trump is on a tail spin so you have created fictional teams to try to start a gang up and pile on rally thread.  And this is nothing more than a desperate attempt at trying to manufacture a sceanrio that will not mirror the reality because America will vote in a concrete and mathematical fashion resulting in a GOP loss. 

But you have teams all wrong. 
5/4/16 was the day Conservatism died 

The GOP majority voting base said they no longer believed in conservatism and instead wanted the biggest and most successful
Rino over established conservatives like Cruz.   Because the civil now is not conservatives and progressives.  Instead it is the educated establishment (Alabama) against the low information uneducated anti-establishment (fcs school).   

And this is not just trump supporters,  this includes Bernie supporters. This is the reality of what is happening now.  So the football game will go something like this.  Alabama will lose the coin toss,  the uneducated fcs school will then say the coin toss was rigged and throw a tantrum over it. 

The game starts and Alabama is running a well executed running attack.  Using simple misdirection and counter plays he low information fcs school will be fooled by this as we all know that they bite at everything and are gullible enough to believe anything that comes their way. 

The fcs school will try a bunch of gadget plays and Hail Marys and will marvel at how far the qb throws the ball even if the pass is not caught. And when the gadget plays do not work because they botched the execution they will throw a tantrum saying the game is rigged and Alabama is stealing their signals or the refs are rigging the game.  

Then as the score piles up, the fcs will make no adjustments because in their minds they would be winning if it were not for the game being rigged.   Perhaps it is the biased Media coverage of the game that does not make a big deal over the quality of the pass that got intercepted by Alabama rather than logically highlighting the interception itself.  But it's not their fault when they play the victim, it never is. 

Then in the stands in true trump rally fashion, an emotional fcs fan will attack a peaceful Alabama because he is cheering for Alabama and we will have more trump era violence.  Except as he tries to attack the Alabama fan, he met with a logical reaction of a punch to the face and rendered harmless. Security will escort this fool out of the stadium as the sensible and rational majority cheers against his violence and idiocy. 

But in the parking lot the fcs fan who just humiliated himself will propose that if things were not rigged and unfair that he and his team would have won the game and he would have won the fight.  Maybe he ponders what would happen if a civil war broke out between the two schools, except he would make fictional versions of the teams so that he can claim a victory because the reality is too much to deal with

What a Slow week at Covers.com.
The motivations to commit to a War are the same motivations that inspire Man to commit to any action.Do you think the populus would commence a War over Tax Policy,Securing the Border, and LGBTQRST Rights??
The 3 Motivations of Man are Ego-Fear-Greed and these have been the Motivations of War since the on set of the Australicene.(Age of Man)

Gun sales hit the 17th consecutive monthly record in September according to FBI data released on Monday, and overall sales are up 27 percent compared to the same period last year.

"Sales of handguns and AR's have been very strong for the past two months. Hunting rifles have been about average for this time of year," Scott Blick, a managing partner at Ammunition Depot , told the Washington Examiner. "Ammunition sales are definitely following that pattern with sales of 9mm ammo and .223 ammo being extremely strong."

You think those liberal gun grabbers are the one's buying all those guns ?

Those acronyms are meaningless to those that understand what they mean.  The football metaphor was clear.  The anti-establishment is trying to manufacture a picture of how they would beat Alabama.  

Those acronyms tho are like bcs schools, Ohio state, Clemson, Michigan.  They are bigger, better staff,  superior talent etc. 

So in rea life this is much of the trump supporter's angle in that they could never get a job at one of these companies other than mopping the floor and cleaning toilets. Technology, progress, , innovation, capitalism, brains...  Trump supporters fear and hate these companies because it is the present and future. 

So unable to keep up with a world that is increasingly favoring the educated and intelligent their only option is disestablishmentarianism and chaos and dreams of anarchy as they feel incompetent and inferior and grasping a gun is the only way that can feel man enough to get through the day. Childless single men masturbatinf to anime.

Yeah I can see the happy's just lining up to fight for their rights... And those college professors, their scary as long as they're bombing police stations (See Bill Ayers)... I never thought about what would happen but its pretty clear. Look at how the left refuses to name it's enemies, withdrawals from every place they should stand and fight. Nothing would be different here... It would take 2 days...

I know right. You can tell how insecure these emotional trump supporter saber rattlers are with their fantasies of civil war. 

And how they are still stuck on the left/right thing when it has become establishment GOP/dem against the desprate antiestablishment from both sides that cheer for anarchy because they cannot compete or survive in the current world. 

It is Darwinism at its finest with the people who are smarter having more and more success while people who cannot compete complaining about it being unfair hoping for anarchy and civil war because they are losers in life

I actually look at it this way...........

Hillary is my left nut and Donald is my right.  My doctor says both have cancer but we can only remove one, you can chose.  I ask after I make the decision when will I be able to have the other one removed.  He tells me in " 4 more years."

What if that Red state engineer studied in a Blue state and vice versa? Would you still believe your nonsense?

You say you desire intelligent opinion yet you make a post that is nothing more that making a jab and insulting.   I forget now... wasn't there a term being thrown around for describing the "biggest" something that says one thing but does another? 

It's interesting how certain posters are allowed come in and bash and anatagonize out of no where with no provocation or even mention of him personally. 

Funny how that works

Thoughts

Let’s break this match-up down...

Liberals: Human Resources, Social Workers, Office Workers, Accountants, Community Organizers, Political Activists, Race Hustlers, Professional Protesters, Environmentalists, Vegans, Teachers/Professors for the state, ACLU Lawyers, Journalists, Reporters, Bloggers, Artists, Writers, Authors, Musicians, Actors, Comedians, Hippies, Gang Bangers, Fast Food Workers, Video Game Developers, Computer Techs, Software Developers, Web Administrators, Tax Examiners, Collectors, and Revenue Agents.

VS.

Republicans: Truck and Tractor Operators, Shipyard Workers, Sheet Metal Workers, Iron Workers, Steel Workers, Masonry Workers, Railroad Workers, Construction Workers, Oil-rig Workers, Blacksmiths, Gunsmiths, Locksmiths, Silversmiths, Metal Fabricators, Mechanics, Machinists, Truck Drivers, Plumbers, Roofers, Butchers, Carpenters, Farmers, Ranchers, Loggers, Miners, Welders, Solderers, Pipefitters, Fisherman, Patriot Judges/Lawyers/Professors/Doctors, Fire Fighters, US Soldiers, Security Guards, Correctional Officers, Police and Sheriffs Patrol Officers... basically all in Law Enforcement etc.

I think you made the spread way too low, Canovsp. I believe republicans would be over -100. The key would be whether republicans would run the ball and kill the clock or run up the score by throwing the ball every down. It would be a huge mismatch.

all you need to know is LLNL, the smartest liberals are there. bunch of em know how to split atoms.

would be over in a few minutes, as few republicans know how to split an atom. probably none.

California and Wisconsin have enough food for years. both blue states last time i checked. basically california is the united states.

if you want to prolong it, you have force protection

Funny, In my experience all those people that are part of unions are democratic.   And then you take law enforcement, firefighters etc, that are both funded govt and part of strong unions are typically democratic. 

But it looks like you worked really hard on that list trying to fabricate reality to feel better about the trump disaster. 

But the missing part is that all violent criminals, organized crime and people that are a threat to society in prison are all democrats.   So when the prison guards who are union govt funded democrats team up with the murders and violent criminals that are democrats the behind whooping upon the other side would be epic

One of the most pathetic attempts I've seen on this site to generalize two sides.

How many Social Workers do you know that are Republicans? Community Organizers? Would you bet the over on 80% of musicians & actors are liberals? How many Miners do you know that are Liberals? It's a very accurate description of the breakdown of the 2 sides. 

Sorry the truth hurts doesn't it BWS...

DL36 - Producers - providers - builders - officers of the law - order enforcers - first responders - all traditionally subscribe to traditional American values. They don't hate cops or support anti-gun policies like liberals, or support black lives matter, Muslims, happy marriage, men using the women's restroom, globalism, open borders, rioting, political correctness, or the politics of Antonio Gramsci. This is reality.

First of all - unions are republican creations. The Republican Party fought the civil war to preserve the union. Republicans have a conundrum with supporting the working class and supporting job creators. The interesting thing is republicans support police unions and unionized fire fighters. This is a very complex issue. Supporting unions doesn’t mean supporting liberal values. It just means they are republican conservatives that side with unions. Being a union supporter doesn’t make a person a democrat.

Yeah, ok, sure, lol... hunters, survivalist experts, mountain men, miners, ranchers, farmers, gun enthusiasts, gunsmiths, blacksmiths, demolition experts, and the citizens that fly the knights templar flag, POW/MIA flag, Molon Labe flag, come and take it flag, rebellious stripes flag, and Gadsden flag are a bunch of liberals lol. Walk up to a man wearing a Gadsden hat. Tell him what's up fellow liberal lol. You'll definitely be on the news and worldstar and youtube for getting knocked the fukk out lol.

Second of all - law enforcement hate drugs, thugs, illegals, rioters, black lives matter, Muslims etc - all things democrats proudly support. Corrections officers would join the side of the inmates lol? Thank you for bringing me to tears of laughter. You have no idea that COs are jail/prison cops with a badge just like patrol cops. Their job is to enforce the law behind bars. COs and inmates would kill each other - not fight along side each other lol. You are definitely a liberal social worker that was educated in a liberal indoctrination camp lol.

Lastly, terrorists, criminals and gangsters are stupid. They can't shoot or fight for sh1t. They lack discipline and proper training. Every time they challenge military or police they get b1tch slapped...

Let's say it wasn't a game but a real war... Black lives matter would kill all the white democrats because police wouldn't be there to protect them. Women would be raped and killed by liberal savages because republicans wouldn't be there to protect them. All the rich liberals would get killed and robbed by liberal thugs, so liberal thugs would take over all of their personal property. Liberals would burn and destroy their own neighborhoods and kill themselves...

Republicans would just sit back and watch the anarchy. All democrats do is destroy so there wouldn't be any people who know how to produce, build, or make things. All the people who are demolition experts, who build bunkers, build safe houses, build armored trucks, make guns, make swords, make compound bows, and make other weapons, or build planes, build boats, build tanks, and build military grade weapons and materials are pro-America patriot republicans...

Then there is the food and water problem for liberals. Liberals would rob and pillage each others food and water sources quickly. Republicans know how to find and create water sources and grow crops, hunt animals, farm cattle... Once the chaos subdued, there would be only thug democrats and Muslim terrorists left...

Republican US military, law enforcement, hunters, survivalist experts, mountain men, miners, demolition experts, ranchers, farmers, gun enthusiasts, gunsmiths, blacksmiths, compound bow archers, and the citizens that fly the knights templar flag, POW/MIA flag, Molon Labe flag, come and take it flag, rebellious stripes flag, and Gadsden flag would then unite and eliminate them.

In the end - republicans would win the war - just as republicans have won every war on American soil. Democrats lack the brains and skills to survive a fight against republicans. It would be the easiest war ever fought on US soil.
