There were ten times as many people on the streets for the George Floyd protests as for Open Up or Stop the Steal.
That's why I think these "Second Civil War" people are in for a really nasty surprise if it ever actually comes down to how many people the pro- and anti-coup regime sides can mobilize in the streets respectively. Any momentarily successful coup attempt or martial law declaration by a MAGA president would be immediately followed by every major city in America being shut down indefinitely by mass protests, the airlines and other transportation systems being paralyzed by strikes, most of the government bureaucracy saboting orders, and probably by the White House fences being stormed by crowds so large as to overwhelm anyone opposing them.
In addition to, um, certain persons winding up like Mussolini and Ceaucescu, this country might finally get the thorough cultural purge it should have gotten during Reconstruction.
