The latter half of the 20th century tells us that this kind of, yeah, loser rhetoric doesn't work well in Western democracies. But I can't think of many instances where it has become this entrenched. Which isn't to say that I think civil war is actually coming — I don't think it is! But I don't think we know what comes next. Having people believe that the unimaginable is, actually, possible — and likely — is a very strange thing that can produce some unexpected results.
