Civil War II thread abrewing

Thanks to commenter kidglov3s both for the thread, and for the rockin' title:

Publius has probably been saying the same thing since Clinton won:

As a student of American history in the era between the Revolution and the Civil War, I’ve noticed that the past 20 years have reminded me of the 1850’s.

Rembrandt thinks if the election goes the wrong way the revolution is gonna happen for sure:

If the Messiah were to steal the next election, I do believe there will be a revolution or secession by some number of states (let us hope and pray). If so, I hope Florida is one of those states which withdraw; otherwise, I’ll move to one that did (TX or AZ perhaps). If there is a choice, I won’t live in an “O Commie” state!

ElectronVolt wants a spite war:

Who’s Lincoln?
The guy who set the precedent that leaving the Union means murderous, unconstitutional war. I'm not a big Lincoln fan. The next civil war should not be over keeping states in; it should be
fought over forcing states out. NY, MA, RI, CT, CA, DE, VT, MN, OR, WA, NJ, IL, and MD should leave.

Salgak hopes life imitates crazy, unrealistic art:

Which then cuts us to the end of “Atlas Shrugged”, looking out over the burned-out wasteland of Libertopia. . .
Does that mean we get to make the Sign of the Dollar, to piss off the few surviving Libs ??? (evil grin)

Spktyr just straight wants a do-over:

Last time, the South had: Agriculture. And that was about it. The North had factories, population, money, weapons, a strong (if initially ineptly led) military force with heavy reserves and a big R&D budget.
This time, the North has... nothing. The factories, money, population, military, R&D outfits and everything else has all gone to the South - partially because the North decided (through unionism, environmentalism, and socialism) that all those things were icky and they didn’t want them anywhere nearby. The South even kept their agriculture. And this time, most black people are free in the south - up north, many if not most of them are virtually enslaved by Democrats and welfare schemes.
I like the South’s chances this time.
