This compares to 53% and 28% respectively in the spring of Obama’s second year in office.

We had violence before Trump was even inaugurated. Whereas Tea Party rallies were peaceful and cleaned up after themselves. Delusional Democrats.

It’s a cliche now but... WE HAVE THE GUNS.

I believed for some time that the 2nd American Civil War (or Revolution) would be in the 2030s. Then I concluded that a Hillary Clinton Presidency could accelerate it to the 2020s. A liberal woman that I know from church opined right after the election that it could happen on Trump's watch. I wanted to disagree, but was sober enough to concede the point.

I was hoping that The Donald could forestall the coming war but pushing back and pausing the political rot and dysfunction. But I underestimated the psychosis of American Progressives. They may indeed revolt openly.

As I look back at the original American Civil War, I can see that one side believed that it could not count on the constitutional processes to get political results that they could accept. The American Left is facing a similar situation today. If they can't accept losing under the rules in place, they may indeed decide that revolution is the answer.

For what it is worth, I also have a pet theory called the Cruz Counterfactual. Suppose that The Donald had to bow out before the 2016 GOP Convention. Ted Cruz had the 2nd highest delegate count. What would the Left's reaction have been to a Cruz presidency? I submit that we would still have seen most of the crap we have seen in the Trump era. (In fact, I think that Comey's Crooked Cops would have still rigged the Servergate investigation because they probably can't abide Ted Cruze either.)

In the cities, yes. Raids against “those a@@@holes” in Little Rock, Salt Lake City, Osh Kosh, Dodge City, Kansas City, etc. Punitive raids against the countryside, blowing away farms and small towns. Booby trapping roads to capture targets. Liberating grain silos for starving urbanites. Plain old assassination.

On the other hand, there is the “those snowflakes are a bunch of p@#$ies” factor.

Congress has the power to dispose of the territory of the US.

Independent nations can be created by two majority votes and Trump’s signature.

Los Angeles and San Francisco can be given back to Mexico.

I agree. Just consider the eight year "two minute hate" that the dems conducted against George Bush. The pattern really started with Reagan but has steadily worsened.

Trump makes an easy target because of his lifelong public, and quite defiant, sexual immorality and habitual crudeness, but the underlying truth is that the left no longer shares a commitment to political pluralism, rotation of power, and acceptance of the legitimacy of the opposition.

It is not coincidental that most of the left's leadership hails from single party urban areas and states. The left thinks California and New York, Chicago and LA and NYC, etc. should be the norm.

“I don’t see much of a chance of “street fighting” in Kansas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Utah, Wyoming and much of the mid west and mountain states.”

In those states it will be guerilla attacks.

No what will happen will be that california will split to three states and florida will go democrat because of the flood of puerto ricans followed by texas in 10 years and the democrats will have a lock on the country.

Thirty-one percent believe that the Vice President of the United States is Duncan Hines.

More likely a war within the Democratic Party.

Yup. They have promised every constituency that they are the favorite, and now they are going to start scrapping over who actually is.

If you run out to the street and you’re alone, we’re not there yet.

Is it finally time? Somebody let me know, I don't want to miss it....
