What do the Right-wing extremists want so badly that they keep threatening civil war?
Here’s what our country might look like if the extreme right got everything it wanted.
1. A single party system consisting of Trump Republicans; perhaps even an autocracy, which could overturn the results of any election they claimed was fraudulent; whether or not there was any evidence of impropriety. The lack of evidence could legally be construed as evidence.
