Me thinks it would be the fastest civil war in history.

My estimation of how this might go: Goods stop arriving in stores, diabetics can't get insulin, critical infrastructure gets targeted first. Good luck maintaining internet connectivity. The masses would do more damage to themselves than either political opposition.

    Would be fun to shrug it off like that but they are infested in the military, courts, police, and the Republican party

    You can look at the history of white America getting away with murders of coloured folk to see why it is a scary prospect

    Oh, I'm by no means shrugging it off. Thousands would die. I'm simply saying, it would end quickly and stupidly. We are too interdependent on our institutions to have an effective civil war.

    It would also take a seperate opposing body to attack another. How would republican actors know who is ideologically to the left of them?

    Unless they employ some type of guerilla warfare but, I don't think there are enough people committed to trump to get that done effectively.
