Perhaps the right tweet might do it. Trump has incited violence, explicitly and in subtext, before. So it's not a matter of a simple call-to-arms, like in the past, but then I'm not sure what would be the tipping point.
- idoh 6y agoPredicting the future is fraught with peril. It seems likely that Trump will not win a reelection this November, and seems closer than ever that we will have a peaceful transition of power at that time, versus where we were a year or two ago. Historically civil wars happen when the government hasn't had a change of power in a long time, and not in situations where it cycles over regularly.
- whymauri 6y agoRight - but the question asked was not "Are we going to have a Civil War?" it was "Are we one tweet away?" which I interpret as "Could one tweet conceivably start a Civil War?" Conceivably: yes. Likely: no.
- Fjolsvith 6y ago> It seems likely that Trump will not win a reelection this November Don't get all confident about this. Lots of "secret" Trump voters have become angry at the MSM/Dems and are gaming the polls that say Biden will win.
