The second option will lead to bloody Civil War
In less than a generation, anybody and everyone that grew up when American was still free (or freeer if you will)— solid small towns that were still economically viable, fathers and mothers that survived the depression and won the war, good school systems that honored America, a solid path to racial equality — will be dead.
You can't have a “civil” war unless civil structures (states, religious organizations, etc. participate). In the places they control, Republicans will fold like cheap suits.
The Bundys (God bless them), take over an empty Park Service building as a symbolic statement.
The left will take a hammer to your skull, striking from behind.
No one on the right will start the shooting and very few will return fire. It would mean killing your pastor, neighbor, local official snf family members who voted for Hilliary and to your face tell you Trump is illegitimate. You don't punch them in the fave do you, even though they most assuredly deserve it?

Red state blood will flow in drops. Blue state blood will flow in flood stage rivers.
