Most Republicans (IMO) do not look forward to the upcoming civil war, while most Democrats (again IMO) are anxious to provoke it (in the event the Republicans don’t surrender).
I think the Republican establishment is quite right that, if they press the agenda of the “base”, that there will be a bloody war which will consume or destroy most of that which makes their pleasant lives pleasant. Most of the GOP middle and upper-middle class live in unsecure areas the existence of which would be seriously jeopardized by civil war.
I don’t know if the “base” believes this. I think the fraction of the “base” that subscribes to “bring it on” is small. The fraction of the RAT base that’s anxious to “bring it on” is pretty substantial.
We’re living in a powder keg and giving off sparks. If you think electing the right Republican will prevent what’s coming, I think you’re dreaming.
I believe you're assuming a clarity of thought most "Republicans/Democrats" do not possess.
