    I dont think you know about the rednecks in Texas. They all have guns and have played Call of Duty. That makes them enough of a trained militia in their eyes to make a go at it.

      It’s not about what they believe they’re capable of, it’s about what they can actually afford to do. If you have two kids and a house you’re just barely able to afford and are in a large amount of debt despite both adults in the household working full time jobs, you’re not likely going to let your kids starve in order to fight a war of secession.

        Yeah, sure, but you see, it’s all THE LIBRULS’ FAULT, so you basically MUST go to war to show 'em.

        1. Punish the enemy for all the things I blame them for

        2. ???

        3. Profit!
