Civil war has already started. Only one side is fighting. They are winning with no opposition at all.

Americans are too afraid to even general strike. We have already surrendered.

Of course they are afraid, armed National guards have taken over cities, and people know damned well that no one was held responsible for the murders at Kent State.

In the history books it started 6. january. War usually means use of deadly weapons so I would call this a takeover.

This is more cleaning up than a coup. I feel like we'll probably continue the current path towards a bloodless transition.

As a result, I just think we'll be electing Republicans for the foreseeable future. With the occasional purge of elected officials who stray too far from the executive branch.
