      There was a brief moment on Jan. 6 and a few days after when the GOP elite could have rejected Trump. They didn't except in vague tut-tutting, which means party was inevitably going to embrace Jan. 6https://twitter.com/nytimes/status/1489670105768370177 …

      Jeet Heer Retweeted The New York Times

      While talk of a new civil war is overheated, it has to be understood that GOP that embraces Jan. 6 points towards a future where democracy will be increasingly besieged and curtailed.https://twitter.com/nytimes/status/1489670105768370177 …

          There may not be a Civil War but the GOP will be very happy to use the threat of and actual violence to win elections and issues.

          Depends. A hot civil war? That's kinda unlikely but can't be ruled out. A cold civil war? I'd argue the US has been at a cold civil war since Reagan. Bush the Younger really accelerated the cold civil war.

          Replying to @HeerJeet

          “Civil War” is the parlance we are familiar with, but what it suggests is that one of two major parties now encourages domestic terrorism as policy. That’s pretty much as scary as “civil war” and not hyperbole.

          Does this mean leftists now have social permission to occupy legislatures too? If its legitimatized then the next Republican winner can result in riots too

          The wave of restrictions after the VRA was gutted pointed toward that. Jan 6 points more toward a future of political violence, no?
