I think you're greatly overestimating the ability of non-MAGA America to fight back against MAGA America. Trump supporters are (generally speaking) much more heavily armed and combat trained than Trump's opponents. Any kind of uprising against Trump's regime is likely to be put down quickly and easily.

I don’t know if it’s a good or bad thing, but these serious end game scenarios people imagine are going to preceded by a lot of things that could be a lot more damaging and really aren’t getting as much airplay which seems strange to me. Americans aren’t just going to lay down.
It’s like talking about climate change and jumping right to “the end of humanity as we know it.” There’s a lot of bad before that, and a lot of opportunity to avoid it.

Is it fair to be worried about both the bad-before-that stuff and the endgame stuff?

On another note, the Trump interview on Rogan now has over 16 million views and rising rapidly. By comparison, the Harris interview on Howard Stern got only 1.6 million views. My optimism for a Harris victory is starting to diminish.
But I'm hoping this is like the Cup final where the universe corrected itself at the last minute...
