There will be no “civil war” until republicans win again.

Cops are gonna cop either way (so do nothing other than find the nearest brown kid they can beat on until The Public gets mad enough that they have to act). Even a bunch of untrained gravy seals with ar-15s are going to leave the cops shitting themselves and crying while they play gacha games on their phones. It is the military (mostly National Guard) who are going to matter.

And Jan 6 already showed how that plays out. They are going to do whatever they are ordered to. So if the POTUS is actively trying to murder the VPOTUS and the president pro tem and so forth? Doesn’t matter because the person they report to is telling them to not act or, after seeing Jan 6 “fail”, to impose martial law to protect the country. Just… not over there. We got some uppity negros what need putting down first.

If anyone who actually cares about the country is in power (so… Democrats and a very small subset of third parties)? We roll up on the gravy seals with a few drones that drop tear gas and we are done. If it is the republicans? It won’t be a “civil war” so much as a series of lynchings.
