No, these guys are way less organized than last time and Donald Trump is getting fucked in court still. I think its less likely now than it was 4 years ago. The GOP is fracturing and losing steam. Senators and governors are still a threat but not in the civil war type of way I don't think.

What exactly is required to be a threat in the civil war type? Besides Guns and a feeling of not being represented?

Unification.

That's the main lacking puzzle piece on both sides.

If the left were unified there wouldn't be a republican in politics.

If the right were unified, you wouldn't have jackasses running their mouth at every opportunity just to get a news blurb generated about themselves.

The old adage about United we stand, divided we fall? Technically, our divisions are the only thing keeping us up right now.

If we ever come together it will end in nuclear hellfire

Organizing a war against the us army would take a lot of planning. Unless trump wins, controls the army, and enough generals agree.
