One thing I worry about is a contingent presidential election. That situation arises when no candidate gets a majority of electoral votes (270 of 538). Should this situation arise, Congress gets to pick the next president and vice president.

    That’s great, but a civil war won’t be decided by citizens with guns. It’s going to be military and police forces. How confident are you that they are all on the right side?

      Oh they’re definitely almost all on the ‘right’ side. I think there’s an acronym people sometimes like to throw out that illustrates the reality of the situation.
