We often accuse the left of not taking into consideration human behavior when they make new laws and rules. They assume that everyone in the electorate will abide by those laws without question.

The right does the same thing by assuming that the humans in control of the government will abide by the laws and rules made by the right.

Case in point: The current administration picks and chooses which laws they want to uphold and ignores any others.

Never underestimate the left’s desire to take full control of the country and destroy any and all opposition...............

Then you agree with the notion that civil war is inevitable in all cases.

“Never underestimate the left’s desire to take full control of the country and destroy any and all opposition...............”

I don’t. I’m well aware that those in power will attempt to defy any limits to their power:

” the love of power, which has been so often the cause of slavery, — has, whenever freedom has existed, been the cause of freedom. If it is this principle that has always prompted the princes and nobles of the earth, by every species of fraud and violence to shake off all the limitations of their power, it is the same that has always stimulated the common people to aspire at independency, and to endeavor at confining the power of the great within the limits of equity and reason.” - John Adams, 1765

If the existing limits to power have proven insufficient, then the people, through their legislatures, need to limit power further. The Article V provision in the Constitution exists for just this purpose.
