    They would quash any serious attempt at civil war or revolt of or between any political extreme in order to maintain the current status quo. The government and the military are both owned by the corporate class. The left is a very very small minority in the US and they don’t even have a mainstream political influence or party. The US just has the socially liberal right-of-center Democrat party and the far-right conservative Republican party.

      The right wing has succeeded at enough regulatory capture that they only stand to benefit from the military “intervening” AKA helping them.

      There was a skirmish of left vs. right protesters a couple of months ago at some school board meeting. The right wingers were the clear aggressors, but the police only arrested the left wingers.

      That’s what the military would actually do, accomplishing the goal of slapping down the left, all under the guise of legality and status quo.

      And you’ll fall for it.

        Well, I suppose we’ll just have to disagree, but even though I find your opinions and perspectives to be mostly generalized embellishments and without nuance I still appreciate you for providing them.

          Well, I find your denialism stupid, dangerous and harmful for this country too, but we’re pretending to agree to disagree so we can be sarcastic and fire emotional barbs at each other on the down low, so who am I to judge?
