Are we on the verge of a civil war?

It's also interesting to have a war to install a leader who is nearing the age of 80.  It's crazy enough to elect a guy that old to a single 4 year term, but if we have a war that results in putting Trump into power, I assume he's not going to just be a 4 year president who is beholden by constitutional limits of a democracy now that we've subverted it, so if he keels over does Trump Jr. assume power?  How long will this war even last?  If it isn't wrapped up by 2024 or 2028 are we just going to have a mid-war election?

Are people thinking we're going to have a civil war and make Trump the president and then in 2028 we'll move on to two more candidates, or something?  As you said, a civil war for one person is pretty unusual, which is why a run of the mill coup is more likely.  Having a war to reestablish the USA not as a republic/democracy and instead going to the one-party state sort of thing when Trump supporters don't even like other republicans other than Trump...that's beyond short sighted.

Add in that Trump isn't likely to admit that we need to pass the torch once he's on his deathbed and we're going to have Trump as our leader for 0-10 years and then...what?  Are people just going to accept someone like Ron DeSantis or Trump Jr. after that?  What's the long term goal here?  A civil war to make Trump the leader of the USA...ok, we get him for a few years and then what?
