Nah. It would have sparked an uptick in calls for one, but fundamentally we’re dealing with fascists that don’t actually believe in anything. Trump only exists as a reaffirmation of a dumbass’s nihilism: He’s the ultimate bait for anyone to actually care what happens in this country, at the behest of pure idiots to have the ability to call anyone who cares dumb. Sure, you have your capitalists, your true believer white christian nationalists, and your warmongers, but without the dumbasses it all falls apart.

“Sparked”
Have you not been paying attention? We’ve been in that civil war for at least a decade, you just haven’t been paying attention because there’s nothing organized or official. But the right has been at war for years.

you already have a civil war, but only one side is fighting.
