I don't think it can escalate in this way.
Antifa are the only pseudo-leftists preaching violence, and they have yet to brandish guns publically (as far as I've heard).
Violence has rarely worked for the left.

Except, you know, Mao, Pol Pot, Stalin, etc etc

Soft spot for Hitler, eh?
JK! ;-)
The window of opportunity for each of these despots was the result of the West meddling in their internal affairs.

I was going to say hitler but I just wanted to avoid the whole "But he's actually right wing" discussion when there are so many purely left-wing examples.
mmmm maybe in part yeah, but it still happened.
And if the left rose here, why wouldn't they have the support of the west in the same way those examples did?

Because it's not external. It's internal.
Plus the left doesn't have the guns.

But you think the military-industrial complex won't make money by funding both sides, just like they did in the first US civil war?
The left has guns. Everyone in America has guns. Because America manufactures most of the world's guns.

The Democratic party may have some guns.
As a vet, who was raised in the country I can say without hesitation that the left is far beyond outmatched.
Hunting is in the domain of the right. Hunting rifles are entry level sniper rifles. Most rural kids learn to hunt at around the age of 10.
It wouldn't even be close.
