Extremist factions on the Left and Right won't exactly collaborate, as there is a ton of belief issues between them, and if one "was to win" they would instill a totalitarian style government in order to push their beliefs on to everyone else, which wouldn't even go over on the majority and would result with them getting thrown out.

With that said, any group that tries, will be taken out faster than a monkey flings poo.

So I'm not sure why some of you even think this is a remote possibility???

It might be unlikely, but imho remotely possible. As someone from abroad watching the Capitol storm gives me civil war vibes. What if these folks had succeeded, achieved some of their goals the participating proud boys and other extremists sure were up to. Like actually finding some senators, or Nancy Pelosi, or Pence, what if they had actually dragged them out and killed them. It's not a hypothetical without merit, they came quite close.

I guess that would have made them heroes in the eyes of quite some folks, it might have found emboldened copycats. The start of a guerilla movement, if you will. Maybe they'd be counter-initiatives from some of the more violence-prone people from the left spectrum. That's a form of civil war I can very well foresee, where violent attacks on the political rival rise to a dramatic level. Especially ifTrump or someone of this mindset were successful in overturning an election and remain in power. If that could have happened, I don't know, I think it could and still can. Then what, would everyone just take it and stay calm regardless? I don't know. I think that kind of civil war is remotely possible at least.

The underlying hatred is there, that much imho is for sure. The extremes of your two political camps grow in numbers, have no common ground, no basis and no will for discussion or compromise or agreement, it's utter hatred and this sort of rage can lead to violence for sure.
