Not meaning to attack, but I can see CWII coming to the flyover land.
I live in SE AZ, about as much "flyover" as one can get. If CWII comes, we have a huge stake in the outcome, as well as the adjacent threat of Hordes of Calefrigees, and well as Central American refugees, bent on taking AZ down right along with their own doomed state.
The disorder at the Border won't end with CWII, in fact it'll likely just get many times worse. We'll be at ground zero.
If shots do get fired, it'd be a lot of shots. Such prospects hold no pleasure for me. Such a confrontation would be huge, hot, and unfortunately, not brief.
The Calis breed like the Chinese, and I doubt they would be discouraged by the sight of war's bestial squalor; it's really just some more of what they're created in their own nests.
They'd be coming for quite some time. Unfortunately, there are also a lot of Californians who are not the troublemakers; but they will also be forced to flee the hot zones.
Unlike California, AZ gun owners are not hobbled by California-style legislative imbecility. Yet.
Remember, the
Reichstag Fire achieved the goal of removing the electorate and its representatives from the legal process. Consider that the recent Notre-Dame de Paris fire may just have been a trial run for a similar swipe at the US Capitol building, and the parallels become sickeningly familiar; perhaps not unlike a script.
------------------------------------------------------- Anatomy of the Nazi State Takeover ------------------------------------------------------------------
The day after the fire, at Hitler's request, President Hindenburg signed the
Reichstag Fire Decree into law by using
Article 48 of the
Weimar Constitution
Neutralize Trump and Pence in a staged "emergency", implicate Pompeo, and Nancy Pelosi succeeds as President; eligible to issue executive orders and decrees under Article Two of the US Constitution. Barr would be replaced the same day, and the entire Swamp skates free.
Stranger things litter American Legislative History. Ignore history at one's Nation's peril.
The Reichstag Fire Decree suspended most civil liberties in Germany, including
habeas corpus,
freedom of expression,
freedom of the press, the
right of free association and
public assembly, the
secrecy of the post and telephone.
[11] These rights were not reinstated during Nazi reign. The decree was used by the Nazis to ban publications not considered "friendly" to the Nazi cause. Despite the fact that Marinus van der Lubbe claimed to have acted alone in the Reichstag fire, Hitler, after having obtained his emergency powers, announced that it was the start of a Communist plot to take over Germany. Nazi newspapers blared this "news".
[11] This sent the Germans into a panic and isolated the Communists further among the civilians; additionally, thousands of Communists were imprisoned in the days following the fire (including leaders of the
Communist Party of Germany) on the charge that the Party was preparing to stage a
putsch.
Speaking to Rudolph Diels about Communists during the Reichstag fire, Hitler said "These sub-humans do not understand how the people stand at our side. In their mouse-holes, out of which they now want to come, of course they hear nothing of the cheering of the masses."
[12] With Communist electoral participation also suppressed (the Communists previously polled 17% of the vote), the Nazis were able to increase their share of the vote in the 5 March 1933,
Reichstag elections from 33% to 44%.
[13] This gave the Nazis and their allies, the
German National People's Party (who won 8% of the vote), a majority of 52% in the
Reichstag.
[13]
While the Nazis emerged with a majority, they fell short of their goal, which was to win 50%–55% of the vote that year.
[13] The Nazis thought that this would make it difficult to achieve their next goal, which was to pass the
Enabling Act, a measure that required a two-thirds majority.
[13]
However, there were important factors weighing in the Nazis' favor. These were: the continued suppression of the Communist Party and the Nazis' ability to capitalize on national security concerns.
Moreover, some deputies of the Social Democratic Party (the only party that would vote against the Enabling Act) were prevented from taking their seats in the
Reichstag, due to arrests and intimidation by the Nazi SA. As a result, the Social Democratic Party would be under-represented in the final vote tally. The Enabling Act, which gave Hitler the right to rule by decree, passed easily on 23 March 1933. It garnered the support of the right-wing German National People's Party, the
Centre Party, and several fragmented middle-class parties. This measure went into force on 27 March and, in effect, made Hitler dictator of Germany.
The
Kroll Opera House, sitting across the
Königsplatz from the burned-out Reichstag building, functioned as the Reichstag's venue for the remaining 12 years of the Third Reich's existence.
It's not beyond the Swamp to recall that little piece of history.
Substitute "Conservatives" for "Communists", and "Radical Democrats" for "Nazis" (not such an enormous stretch these days), and a lot of this rings true.
Substitute "Antifa" for "Nazi S.A" (
Sturmabtielung - Storm Troopers).

Coming to a Platz near you, given half a chance. Maybe now we can see and understand why Leftist munipalities are so satisfied to see Antifa violence exist inside their precincts.

Yes, I came back and reread this all, I recognize that sometimes I get a bit far afield.
But the parallels were just too close to some really dismal history to ignore them. The history we don't study will always bring us down in the end.
Mankind is a creature of habits and repetition; not because the ideas are so good, but because maknkind's imagination is so feeble.
