Ive said this in another thread but a civil war threatens more than just left vs right in America. It threatens all aspects of American life, from food and access to water, to destroying an already weakened American economy (affecting the global economy as a whole and probably Americas standing with its allies and relations with other nations) and the second America has any real visible cracks as a world superpower or whatever, youre gonna have someone like China or Russia or whomever trying to get in and cause some real damage. Neither side, especially not the elites want that. It all boils down to money and something like that spoils the money for everyone. I foolishly have always had the ignorant belief that left and right sides kind of collude to a degree, they rely on each other. They would be held accountable if they didnt have the other side to blame. Sure they get shit done but they also kind of need a scapegoat, some enemy to point at that isnt overseas, Even if it did kick off, theyd have to pick up the fucking mess afterwards, and whoever, whatever side wins, nobody wants to have to deal with making a new government or whatever.
As much as I hate politicians like an edgelord teen, globalism has put at lot more at stake were America to fracture than in the 19th century, where America was a more solitary nation and people could go "I hate that guy over this issue and I dont think I can ever get over it. Lets kill each other!" Politicians and the elite, I think, are especially in a place to know that.
Neither party, no side of America wants a civil war and if it got close to that I think most people would be in support of the Commander in Chief considering an act leading to a civil war to be an act of treason and just directly order the national guard or army or whatever to shut it down or whatever would be allowed. As much as the media has been fanning the flames of "This is it!" there are enough people worrying over it that I think there are people primed to put that fire out before it spreads, even though Im a "dont trust the cops, you cant rely on them" type of dude.
