But only one of the genocidal imperialists will peacefully step down in 2029.
I truly don't think that matters. If Biden wins trump is just going to claim that the election was falsified again. We're looking at a boiling point situation with no real answer.
Don't get me wrong, I'm probably still going to vote for Biden unfortunately. But people acting like the choice is so clear are not reading the writing on the wall.
Edit: people down voting this forgot that trump and his supporters literally have stated that if he is not in office this year, they will do more than they did on January 6th. Many of them will call for an all out civil war. The problem isn't the end of the next term, it's the inauguration.
If they try again to do another January 6, or if they had tried to go further last time, they would have been met with force of the US military and they would be absolutely crushed.
Also, the Civil War was organized and planned in secret, long before the NSA and FBI existed, predator drone and hellfire missiles. I don't think another one could get far enough along to pose an existential threat.
The capital insurrection ended exactly how a 3%'r civil war would end: they'd smear a bunch of shit on the walls until one of them fucks around and finds out, and then they'll hide their faces as they scurry away out the back door, back into their mom's basements and motor homes.

The same could be said for trumps proposed future attempt to remain in office. The military did not ever really side with trump.
