I think the Democrats want a civil war.

Indeed. In 1860, Southern States took Lincoln off their ballots, but the North elected him.

That didn't work out well over the next few years.

Thanks for the reminder that 10 Dim states had no printing shop printing ballots with Lincoln on them. (Back then the state didn't print and distribute ballots. It was expected that the parties or newspaper would print ballots. And, thus, write-ins were more frequent because people would write their own ballot.)

So the Dims have historical precedent of trying to keep someone out of office by keeping him off the ballot. But, as you said, it didn't work out for them in 1860. They were so mad about it, after trying so hard to keep Lincoln out of office, that they went to war over it.

Todays average american is of a different stock than those that fought the American Civil War.

They’ve been trying to kick one off ever since Trump was elected
