Incidents like this only harden the electorate’s conviction that if Red Mirage/Blue Coup happens, the election will prove to have been stolen.
Civil war will result.
Usually a civil war requires more than one side to take up the battle. I only see the left engaging in a civil war going forward. Most conservatives can’t be bothered or won’t make the sacrifice to engage in one. And without any organized push-back, the left will win.
It should but it won't, I fear.
