Future Factions of the full on war:
Status Quo Nostalgists
This will perhaps be the most powerful faction. People who want to return to a Bush/Obama era style of supposed status quo. People who profit from international arms sales and dislike stock market disruptions including valleys and spikes.
Hard Core Conspiratorialists
Trump / Alex Jones followers. Fueled by talk radio and local TV and whatever types of social media platforms they can maintain. Pumped with the rhetoric of extermination (think Rwanda) and heavily armed and weapon proficient. They will have some alliance with law enforcement and the military but not as much as the Status Quo Nostalgists and will probably be the second most powerful faction.
Mexican Reclaimers
Mexican identity politics types who will want autonomous rule of land stolen from Mexico through the Mexican–American War and other past events. Likely to receive funding from drug cartels and armed with a genuine historical beef this will likely be the third most powerful faction
Black Reparationists
They’ll be armed, ready to fight, have a legit beef will demand full reimbursement for everything stolen from them. 4th in power. Maybe first in ruthlessness.
Anti-Elitist/Anti-Intellectual/Anti-Science Folk
Loosely organized. Not very prone to fight. Occasionally overlapped and allied with Hard Core Conspiratorialists
The Revolutionary Left / Neo-Maoists
Antifa anarchist communists almost exclusively white. Surprisingly well organized but not sufficiently armed. Will probably focus on assassinations and terrorism. And old fashioned arson and vandalism.
Natives
Yes, they’re still here and do have funding through hotels and casinos. Any further attempts to encroach on their autonomy will be met with violence.
Lone Wolves
They’ll still be shooting up schools and crowds and blowing up buildings with fertilizer and all that.
Foreign Agitators
They’ll be doing what the CIA has been doing to them for ages. Stirring up ****. Infiltration. Using violence and framing other groups to fan the flames and selling arms and drugs.
Eco-Fascists
Basically terrorists with good intentions. Similar tactics as The Revolutionary Left / Neo-Maoists.
White Supremacists
Fringe but aggressive. Not territorially expansionist but will keep their area white with deadly force.
