I think you really need to take a step back.
Do you genuinely believe that a full 40% of Americans have "violent fantasies of a Civil War", or that legitimately want to "destroy democracy"? Have you met a single person in real life that thinks that way? Or have you only seen retweets and characterizations of a couple people online and have associated that with large swathes of the population?
> always demonizes the 60% as sub-human violent scum
> the 40% has violent fantasies
You have to see the irony here, right? You are doing more than your fair share of demonizing.
For a little perspective, only ~ 40% of people vote in presidential elections (and ~half vote democrat). So your percentages are way off from the start. Even among those that do vote, there are a huge portion of people who "don't really follow politics". The reality is much closer to 5% galvanized left vs 5% galvanized right, 90% people who don't really participate.
Perpetuating hate and division does nothing to help anyone.

Can't speak to any percentages but I do personally know two people who have been vocally advocating for civil war to "wipe out the left" for years now. Both are successful very wealthy entrepreneurs in CA.
