Yeah that part is scary. But even that side (which we won’t name) has a significant number of people who, while they have bad opinions and want bad things, don’t actually want the level of insanity and violence we have seen from supporters of a certain unnaturally colored presidential figure.

I have real hope that people are figuring the problem out soon enough that they can solve some of this through increased voter turnout and higher engagement. If we’d gone another decade of complacency we’d be in a lot worse spot because many legitimate avenues of combating oppressive policies might have gotten blocked. But as it is, people can still effect change. That makes actual civil war unlikely, at least for now.
