It’s not happening. I do think there will be more right-wing terrorism regardless of who wins due to anti-immigrant sentiments that both parties are feeding. But the far-right isn’t really organized or in a place to conduct a civil war.

The capitalist class is fine with both candidates. I don’t see a reason for them to finance a fascist overthrow of a system that works for them. Fascist movements can’t get far at all without bourgeois backing.
