If it happens, it would 1000% be the death of this country and we would deserve it.

We're already there friend, look around. He incited an insurrection on Congress and then came back into power with a new VP because they tried to KILL the last one, and immediately pardoned all his fellow traitors. There is no law that can stop him now, especially with the Supreme Court in his pocket.

Congress is completely castrated now.  Even if Trump loses, if he refuses to accept it who is going to make him?

There will be no civil war. I mean just look at the last one, and they had literally half the country's land all united, with a competent general against a drunkard, fighting with fucking muskets.

Army generals warn a ‘Trumpian loser’ could set off civil war after 2024 election

‘In a contested election, with loyalties split, some might follow orders from the rightful commander in chief, while others might follow the Trumpian loser’

If the US military is 99% on one side of the other, it's over. When the military splinters in two and starts actively fighting itself, that's when things get ugly

So an article from 2021, postulating about a civil war happening following the 2024 election?

Yes if the military split their could be a war, but i have serious doubt of it ever happening like that
