538 has that between 10-15%.

Why worry about the radical scenario when a 5% polling error at the state level is still sufficient to give Trump a legal victory.
Civil war or mass civil uprisings won’t happen immediately. It’s going to take a bit more anger and a unifying message and voice before people get to the point they want their own country but it’s coming. As soon as Trump trampled all over all the American institutions and checks and balances with no repercussions, as soon as he was impeached with no recourse and soon as soon as he demonstrates that American democracy is his to manipulate- these are the beginnings of the end for that country as we knew it. I forget the post or video but as soon as laws don’t matter anymore you’ve lost, and that’s what’s happened in both Canada and the United States.
