How many years do we Americans have to keep hearing threats about a "Civil War" from the GOP and their far-right base during POTUS elections? How many more years? And when the GOP lost the 2020 election, these dead-enders did try to violently overturn the results with their putative putsch on 6 Jan 2021 (with the alleged assistance of a Fifth Column within Capitol Hill).
In sharp contrast, the late President of South Africa Nelson Mandela had to suffer appalling black and white casualties from 1990 to 1994 before transforming apartheid South Africa into a multi-racial democracy. President Mandela had to deal hear and deal about Civil War for only four brutal years. Four years.
How many more years for us in America?
Suggested reading and film: "Playing the Enemy: Nelson Mandela and the Game that Made a Nation" (John Carlin, 2008) or the film version "Invictus" (2009, directed by Clint Eastwood)

A new civil war will be an extinction level event for republicans. Neoliberals too. They shouldn't try to catalyze such a thing.

and if we come down to a civil war, I'm glad we got people like ... Bikers for Trump on our side,
Don't forget the proud boofs and those doofuses that like to parade in their khakis.
I'm sure they'll stand up well against the army.

Well then, since some.eurothink tank said so, that's it.
Whatever you do don't poll the millions you've thrown to the winds.

... "I'm afraid if we lose this one, it's going to take a civil war to save the country, and it will be saved," Lang told a Republican audience at Vance's former high school in Middletown, Ohio, as he prepared to introduce the vice-presidential nominee. ...
"I regret the divisive remarks I made in the excitement of the moment on stage," he posted on X. ...
Looks like he is realizing that what he says may actually have meaning to the Cult of Trump.

I think there is a great deal of uncertainty about what the army would do if such a civil war broke out.

Last time I checked sedition in this country is punishable by up to 20 years in prison. In mushy butt Langs case, it would be 20 years of forcible rape. Seems fair for a bigmouth who would have others fight his fight ...

Hey y'all. Snoofy here.
Nothing's going on in the news lately. I mean like nothing at all has happened in the past week or two, zero unprecedented earthshattering events, that I can think of.
So I'm just taking a little break from the DR, waiting for all this nothing to pass by.
Talk to you in November, or January, or whenever something happens.

Let me tell Trumpers what The US Military Brass does NOT do.... Insurrections.
Their role in Constitutional in that regard, and although there may be some Trumpers in the ranks, the Leadership isn't fond of Trump to begin with, and any Insurrection aka Civil War he leads is doomed to fast strike failure.
Late in the day on J6 there was a Seal Team 6 -ish presence inside the Capitol building, ready to put a stop to the rioters, permanently.
They prolly don't know how lucky they are that they stopped just in time to keep breathing.

Republicans can claim America is in the toilet all they want. And their base can even believe it, on the surface.
But we're not in the toilet. People aren't going to quit their jobs and walk away from their lives to go fight a civil war because Kamala Harris got elected.
So, they'll end up with a few thousand unemployed, deplorable, uber-MAGA like we saw on J6, and Republican lawmakers will come out of hiding just long enough to raise their fist before scurrying back to wherever and just look really bad.

You know what, credit is owed where credit is due.
He was absolutely correct in his assessment of his comments and was man enough to publicly retract them and state they were wrong and divisive.
The usual MAGA moron would have realized people were upset and doubled down to upset more.
