    You’re forgetting demographics. The elderly is primarily republican, whereas the 40 and under crowd leans heavily democratic.

    Most people won’t fight unless the battle is outside their door anyway, and the people who want war would probably need to cross state lines to accomplish anything, in which case they would be going up against the national guard and not just a bunch of hippies in hatchbacks.

    Whoever starts the war, should it be started, will lose it, 100%. It won’t even be a contest.

      This has been the line for decades, yet here we are with a large conservative population

      Either the age split is wrong, or people become more conservative as they age, repopulating the older demo still voting conservative

        The age split is just wrong. The left vastly underestimates those motherfuckers to make themselves feel better, and they do it at their own peril.
