I agree with @WalshFreedom.

What looks like a "Civil War" is moderates, conservatives, and proponents of rule of law leaving or being pushed out.

The Republican Party is shrinking and hardening into a far-right, white nationalist, reactionary Trump-style party. https://twitter.com/WalshFreedom/status/1361679736271962115
Both, sort of. https://twitter.com/Stromboli53/status/1361689336153071617
First: They will go full-on fascist.

Second: They are vastly outnumbered, so if the remaining Americans come together, their power (and the threat they pose) can be contained.

However, they'll remain dangerous . . .
Fascist parties usually represent about 1/3 of the population. Hitler came to power with about 1/3 of the vote.

Not coincidentally, political psychologists tell us that about 1/3 of the population has an anti-democratic, authoritarian disposition.
I've said before: Authoritarians have always been with us. They wanted slavery. They wanted Jim Crowe. They erupted with rage when the Supreme Court decided Brown v. Board of Education.

Now they have their own party (and lots of power).
This is why I always say "shrink and harden," and not just harden.

Most of their power now is in local governments, so that's the place for progressive activism.

There will be some business leaders who will welcome oligarchy, but not many. https://twitter.com/RuamiGrey/status/1361706571168948225
