Assuming is Trump supporters incensed that he was robbed of reelection, the attacks could be on anything or anyone that they find objectionable. Colleges and universities are high on the list, as are alternate power systems. Taking out a few wind turbines seems right up their alley, and response can't be fast enough to catch them.
Remember, the Vietcong beat us and the Taliban isn't far behind.
Yep. War is not as cost effective as it used to be. Insurgent war seems to be playing as important a role as nukes in permanently making nations aware that war isn’t a good idea.
But I am not seeing an insurgent conflict rising in the US. Oh, some people will be upset that the red mindset lost, but the reds have always accepted transfer of power by election. They even went along with the first black president without going violent. Then there is the logical disconnect of sacrificing for selfishness. Trump may not loose his entire base, but his base will understand they are a lot smaller than they used to be, at least for one election.
That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
