So, lets say we get to August or some summer month, and 4,000,000 people are protesting right out front the white house.

Do they send in the tanks? Do they kill 1,000,000 people? Would republican civilians see empathy for the dead americans who were democrats? Or would it unite the nation like 9/11 did, except this time against the government?

    Yes. The Tulsa race massacre for instance. Not that I’m comparing the current state of politics to longstanding racism, only that once you are sufficiently demonized by conservatives they have no problem killing you. And you can find similar events big and small throughout American history.
