"Who would really win a civil war?", ponders "Monsieur Z". Before I reveal what he says, let me preface it by saying in my mind, I always figured if there was a civil war in this country between the liberal and conservative sides (which sadly seems increasingly likely over the years), the liberal side would win. The "logic" behind this prediction, such as it is, is simply that all the economic growth for the last several decades has been concentrated in the tech companies and major cities of the liberal side, and economic growth ultimately determines the winner. That's not to say that a civil war couldn't be extremely bloody and worth avoiding because of the loss of life it would cause.

Ok, having said that, I never encountered this YouTube channel before, and I get the impression this guy is a conservative, since he seems to sympathize more with the conservative side. If you're familiar with this channel feel free to chime in. (Hopefully sharing a link to this channel won't get you in trouble -- I think YouTube keeps track of who watches disapproved channels.) It seems he's some sort of military historian. Anyway, he predicts a win for the liberal side. The greatest advantage the conservative side has, supposedly, is they control the food supply, but at a practical level, they cannot cut off the food supply to liberals because that would also cut off the food supply to each other in the process. More generally, the conservative side is too fractured and distrustful to organize into a combat force that could successfully take on the US military, even as a guerrilla combat force, and the military will, he predicts, be successful at purging conservative sympathizers from their ranks.
