Reply #14: A civil war will not happen

[PDenton]

Because there are liberals and conservatives in every state. It isn't like the Civil War when there was a great deal of regional ideology fuelling the antipathy. My guess is what is going to happpen is that conservativism as we know it is going to go out with a whimper ,and will have to admit defeat on several of their points, before it can be reborn. My guess is the first thing to be axed will be Reagans economic policies, because plenty of Republicans are starting to feel the pain from a country with crumbling infrastructure and human capital. If the Republicans came out as a recycled Christian Democrat, European-style conservative party, they might have a chance. That's just my 2 cents.
