Evidently, Marxists learn nothing from history but to try again.

Rush is right on this stuff... the 'debate' was a joke.
The Demo party hasn’t started killing people.
He and Coulter and stealing all my sh!t. It’s cool - FR provides a nice testing ground before ideas can be released to the general public.

The real issue for anyone with a modicum of foresight is to look over the event horizon for the beginning of the hot civil war. Marx nailed it; he was absolutely correct in assessing the essential human conflict is the class struggle. Now, about here is when the typical FReeper goes postal without actually thinking it through. What Marx was observing was the same exact divide we have today: Trump supporters are better looking, smarter, stronger, more physically appealing, more aggressive, more assertive, more everything AKA "winners". Proggies are life's rejects: ugly, underdeveloped, skittish personalities, odd emotional behavior, etc AKA "losers". Now, just because the left places newly developed labels on a very very old stratification doesn't make it particularly insightful. They can call the divide intersectional analysis, align various outgroups in an attempt to forge a unified front, but in the end, the left is really just same old random collection of odd balls and losers.
However, what makes the left dangerous are the temporary periods where they actually gain power. Since they are so filled with hate, resentment, envy - I mean, have you ever experienced how they react to anyone who looks healthy, attractive (what they called "privileged")? It's instinctive - all the old emotions of their failed days in HS manifest themselves years later. So, when the left gets in power, they gear up the gulags and camps because they are out of blood - literally.
Around this time is when the traditional right finally wakes up, sees the peril looming, stops dismissing the losers as merely annoying pissants, and decides to do something about it. You can trace the arc of history across any great civilization or empire that has passed the point of no return. It's not unique, it's not special, it's just the basic human condition that Marx correctly observed. Anyway, when the right finally gets moving, the long simmering resentments fully spring forth as the moments to settle scores. And, if anyone is interested in observing, the right/military always wins. (Please don't use fascist China as a contra-example.)
So, here we are: Trump ain't the guy, that's for sure. If he were, the coup would be considered similar to Sumter. Or, the mutiny in both State & DoJ would be treated no differently than if it occurred in the DoD. Or, a soft union of states (NY/CA) aligned to counter federal security would be recognized the same as the confederacy. But, none of these events measure up, not do to intrinsic qualities, but because Trump intentionally doesn't want to go there. Rather, he would prefer to just act as president without risking any real capital.
Which leaves some of us looking a bit further out for the inevitable storm clouds forming way yonder.
Don’t know that I see a right-wing (right side) reaction coming. With millions of new proles being imported, I see more of a Communist oligarchy looming.
The KKK was always a vanguard of the DemoKKKrat Party.
However, the essential point stands: Rewards/spoils accrue to winners; but winners tend to dismiss accusations of privilege. And thus is born, as Marx would say, the bourgeois - comfortable, self-satisfied. Losers aka proles are riven by hatred, resentment and ency of the advantages and positive life experiences winners take for granted. Given the chance, progs don't want to promote human achievement, technical advancement, the arts or general excellence. Rather, their focus is on revenge pure & simple, hence the gulags and camps.
I was hoping Trump would follow up on his word, recognizing the essential class struggle, and how close we are to the left gaining the advantage to exact their bloody revenge. But, like others I accuse of negotiation, perhaps I was hoping we could get out of this without a fight. Nice thought, huh? Yet, history tells us human nature acts very consistently.
(Real) civil wars can take out around 20% of the civilian population. CW1 was a piker - no one in the north, especially civilians, suffered one iota. The next one percolating away will be much more encompassing. Sadly, the internal divisions tend to exhaust the collective population, making them ripe for external conquest. Que the Chinese waiting patiently to descend, just like the Germanic tribes did after Rome's 150 year long civil war(s).
And in pointing out the Demagogic Party's indelible and unreconstructed racist history, Kamala Harris screwed the DNC, and herself, as well as Biden. Thanks Kaslin.

Matt, you could add: And citizens will be required to work and pay for it all. If you don’t like it, go pound sound - what are you going to do about it?
