I think the problem with that is that they're going to bring up difficulties in amassing a workforce due to COVID, however valid such excuses may be. If they do, I would hope that Trump's lawyers bring up that they could have called for their National Guard to assist, as Wisconsin had done. I worry that they haven't been following this as intently as we have, though-- not that they wouldn't get the damning accounts and evidences, but critical supplementary details such as what I mentioned about the NGs may have eluded them.
Galicia and the Basque have both done elections during the Covid pandemic, with proper oversight, and with none of these issues. If these assholes bring COVID into this... Fuck please someone link them to said ellections in response, because they're gonna fucking do it aren't they.
I really don't think hillbillies are in any way prepared for civil war.
You'd be surprised how easy it is to cause The Troubles 2: No Step On Snek Boogaloo. The army's not prepared to fight its own people. No army really ever is. As others mentioned before, even the Soviets got fucked for less than this. You got no idea what a sufficiently large group of considerably pissed off people can do with no plan or common sense.
I can't 100% attest about rural america. But you'd be surprised just how many guns are in rural spain, and our laws are far more restrictive with that shit, not to mention the thorough attempt at dismantling any and all civilian weapons owning by the Regime drastically shaping our gun culture to be... well 100% unofficial with the media treating it as if even fucking pelet rifles are the devil. So I'd say when it comes to weapons and ammo you're more than served.
And shit is, you'd say they still wouldn't win. But they don't really need to. Just read Hitler's negotiations with spanish generals. When he noticed Franco wasn't gonna keep his word Hitler had the option to coup him, many of the very same group that led the civil war effort were in favor of it. But Hitler refused specifically because he feared without Franco's propaganda the spanish people would give him no end of grief. Hilarious point is what he didn't know was the spanish people were already a large segment of the partisans used against him, so yeah... He was damned right they'd go after him, just wrong in thinking Franco could stop them. But point is: you think spanish guerrillas AFTER the civil war had even a small chance of taking THE NAZIS down? With no tanks, with no formal resource chain, with completely outdated small arms and improvised explosives, and with no formal training using only their own experience to fight on foreign soil? Fuck no. But the fact that they became Partisans helping France and Britain despite those countries' backstab of spain and still managed to do a ton of damage at that should tell you: they also didn't fucking care about winning.
When you push people hard enough to convince them you're a tyrant, they will organize against you, with no plan, with no hope of winning, and with barely even any resources. Just get enough Killdozers and they're gonna put enough of a dent in your army than your own logistics and morale loss are gonna take you down.
For another obvious example: Napoleon. Just look at the peninsula war. Fuck me, you think post-siege-of-madrid spain had a chance of winning? No they fucking didn't, not by any formal metric. But win they did now didn't they. Not just win, but Napoleon couldn't even siege CADIZ. FUCKING CADIZ. Some coastal town in the middle of buttfuck nowhere! Same troops that assraped Madrid, the bastion of spanish nobility and economy couldn't fucking cross the walls of that shit. Why? 'Cause guerrilla warfare's a bitch and the bloody baguettes weren't even close to ready for that shit that's why.
Most successful soldiers on both of those wars over here were the "bandoleros" and "makis", and so were the "almogavars" during the moor invasion. You know what those 3 groups got in common? They were the hillbillies of their time, quite literally, hell the term for bandoleros during the napoleonic time was quite literally "mountain folk", that should tell you enough really. Hillbillies may look happy and fucking jolly, and they are, but they know the terrain better than no one, got knowledge on how to use guns, precisely because of being so jolly compared with city people their morale is far more resilient, and they are resourceful enough to survive with a severely stumped supply chain for quite a while. That alone makes them experts at ENDURING a civil war, even if they don't know it. And if there's one assured way to win a civil war, it really is to just survive longer than your enemy. That's precisely why the generals of the south meant nothing over there. Once you're fighting your own people on your own soil, it's a matter of hurting the supply chain and morale hard enough for your soldiers to break line, you don't have to win, in fact winning isn't really an option, it's all about who's left to see the end of it.
