I am old, so I hope I don't live to see it, but I am pretty sure that is where this current trend in our country's political polarization will end.

There is a significant minority of us (and unfortunately, with the demographic trends that are in place we ARE a minority, but not a small one) that will not be part of the plan for "urban/progressive America."   We would be outcasts at the best, and downright criminals at the worst, in that new culture, be it as it may.  If ECONOMIC PRESSURES are applied that minority group in an attempt to make they comply (or extract wealth from them to support the others), then it would be the makings of a revolution, be it "hot" or "cold"

When a large minority won't go be accepted (and are economically punished) by the new majority, that bodes badly for a unified country as we have had since the Civil War in the 1860's.

I don't see a cleanly defined schism like what happened in the 1860's, but Balkanization is very possible....

I think this latest BS with the schoolkids will be instructive.

If behavior starts changing because of lawsuits, we might have a chance.   If it doesn't - and do note so far that some in the media are doubling down even with video available every which way from Sunday - then voting won't change shit, because their behavior is reaching a point where you can't live with them in a civil society.

The thing that I think makes eventual victory likely is that the left is fundamentally incapable of winning.   Even if they get a big tactical win, in the long run they'll shoot themselves in the dick because third world BS isn't going to fly in a first world nation of 300 million people.   The question is, will they drag the rest of us down with them before destroying themselves.

The problem is "voting" will not be on our side (numbers wise).
It's simple math, and the left has won.
Replace conservatives by importing more leftists. Allow (and fund) the non working/leftist crowd to outbreed conservatives. Insure the left controls education of those newborns. Control the media so conservatism cannot rise again.
They've done all the above. Now they're just waiting for us few conservatives to die off already, so they can go full bore socialist (even then, they're impatient).
We've only won a temporary speed bump to their plan. THEY have (easily) won the long (and not even remotely long) game. Unless we quickly reverse ALL of the above... it's over.

The things we need for our country to survive:

1) Voting rights for property owners only (or perhaps for those who pay at least "X" amount in federal taxes per year). If you don't have a stake and pay taxes on that property in the US, you don't get to help decide what happens to it. Active military excluded.

2) Voting rights waived for a period of 7 years after receiving any sort of government handouts (service connected veterans excluded). You don't get to vote yourself tax payer money.

The rest will sort itself out in time, when you don't have a significant percentage of the population voting themselves free shit with no incentive to improve their situation.

It would most likely be certain states that are booted out of the Union if Constitutionalists were the victors. The states that were Constitutionalist-run would be returned to a condition in which liberals couldn't bear and they would hopefully migrate to their utopia. The entitlements would be gone, free speech embraced, and the second amendment would be secured. You'd see 99% of liberals hit the road after some personal responsibility became common place.

As an added fail safe, there would need to be a serious discussion about the balance of representation in the republic. For instance, cities would have a significantly reduced power since they have proven to be a concentration of people who choose to vote themselves bread and circus. It is not right that such a small geographical area dictates the will of the entire state.

Finally, we would need to clarify a few things. It would have to be undeniable that the bill of rights are exactly that. More of a reenforcement with defined punishments for any politicians acting in treason against the people. It would be clear that we are not a democracy, and that we are a republic. Any way, the list goes on.

Gerrymandering needs to go.  Since the internet has become so ubiquitous and therefore communication across long distances is nearly instantaneous, perhaps expanding Congress to one representative per county (of course you would have to legally freeze the current number, 3142, and boundaries of the current counties), and adjusting the Electoral College to 1 EC vote per county...  Repeal the 17th Amend...  It would be a looooooong time before a socialist would occupy 1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW, or a socialist majority would come to power in the House or the Senate.

If you take a real good look at Democrat party strongholds, it's basically every major city. Once shit goes down it doesn't look good for people who live in those cities due to the number of resources it takes to maintain them and the utter chaos that will happen when EBT doesn't matter anymore.

It sounds shitty, but honestly, half the population would starve in a matter of 3-6 months of a complete CW border to border. Less time in some areas during winter. In areas with strongholds and forces able to keep arteries of traffic and commerce going, or operational ports and humanitarian assistance, they could hold out a lot longer.

In the long run, geographic differences and current population differences would kick in. The west with long stretches between major metropolitan areas would probably fall into the conservative side. The east coast would be a lot uglier and probably maintain liberal rule.

No way that we can vote our way out of the coming leftist take over.

Demographics are changing and it is just a matter of time before they have full control of the government.

Lots of folks like to talk about civil war but even that is not going to change anything if you plan to have a democracy after it is all over.

Say there was a civil war and conservative forces won. Now what? still the same demographics. They will just vote themselves back in power.

So short of somehow eliminating about half the population of the country, what can be done prevent the coming leftist take over/socialism/communism/burn it to the groundism?

Folks that know a lot more about all this than me, please convince me that there is some realistic way to avoid what is coming.

I'm not really a doom and gloom sort of person but I just can't come up with an alternative future for our country.

Change my mind.

Leftists use the arguments of "reasonableness" and "fairness" to win people over and the younger snowflake generation that grew up with participation trophies are falling for it.

It is only fair that if YOU have $100 and I have $25 that you should give me another $25 so that our "gap" is less.  Look, I don't want all of your money.

It's only fair that everyone should make a living wage at every job.

It is only reasonable that we should believe every woman who accuses a man of rape.  After all why would she lie?

It's only reasonable that you keep all of your guns locked up 24/7.  After all do you want to children murdered.

If we just rollover like they want, you're right, we can't save our country. One thing for sure, as long as we let these wackos run our public schools, colleges and universities we are doomed. Fight back by not sending your kids to these Leftist incubators. Why on earth would you pay a university $30-50,000 a year to brainwash your kid into being good little Socialists?

Start with not letting leftist businesses to blackmail you. Search for alternatives.

Fight with your money, voice, and time, not just your vote.
