People keep talking about "Federalizing the National Guard" and now you've got other States pledging their NG to Texas in defiance of the Supreme Court (see image).

So is this what CW2 looks like?

P.S. I'm a Brit

It's not a new civil war reason. It's the same one as last time just packaged up a little different.

It's not even a new civil war. The last civil war only ended technically. In reality it went cold and has still been being waged all this time. It turned from a war of the rural South against the industrialised north. To a war on the industrialized from the rural.

I, for one, welcome the formation of the New California Republic. Washington and northern Oregon can join too if they'd like.
