I don't see any moral reasons why 10 random people being killed wouldn't be worse than a single guy who also is 70+ yo, no matter how rich or how powerfull this

I don't see any moral reasons why 10 random people being killed wouldn't be worse than a single guy who also is 70+ yo, no matter how rich or how powerfull this guy is. Also, you can't have a civil war as long as the military in the US is what it currently is, i.e subordinate to civilian powers. You can have riots, protests, sure, but i don't see any path for a civil war that does not somehow involve part of the military, in any country at any time, and especially now that armies are professionals.

There would have definitely been very acrimonious protests attended by people who are much more likely to own firearms than the population at large. And protests can lead to civil war, look at Syria for example. Not to say it’s certain or even likely, but it’s definitely plausible. You are much more confident than I am that the military and police would remain 100% loyal to Biden during a protracted period of civil unrest where one side believes two general elections in a row were stolen from them and their leader assassinated.
