I'm gonna go ahead and file this one under, "Reasons for the upcoming civil war".

What makes you think there will be one, if there hasn't been one yet? Asking as a discouraged person.

We are always 5 days without food from a civil war.

Everything has a breaking point.

Wait, is the civil war the better outcome here? I mean, you granted Trump control of all branches of the government and elected him president twice. How do you guys envision that playing out?
Ugh. Every time a US politics post gets through my blocklist I'm baffled at the surreal narratives in there. Americans are so weird.

Conservatives think legitimacy is an object you own.

checks the news I mean, that's what they appear to be doing successfully.

Power is not the same thing. I need people to understand: conservatism does not believe power can be abused. When they have it, it's theirs. There is no right or wrong action, only right or wrong people. Things are right because right people do them. Their ingroup inherently possesses this unquestionable right to act - and in their minds, that's surely the only basis for your objections. We just want our guys acting, instead.

This is all just a steaming pile of bullshit.
The current US Supreme Court hands Trump victories without explaining them because the explanation is quite simply that the conservative majority is wholly and completely corrupt and compromised. There is no legitimate justification for their decisions - neither existing law, precedent nor the Constitution could possibly be successfully invoked to justify any of them, and trying would just call unwanted attention to that fact, so they don't even bother trying.
The justification is "What the fuck are you going to do about it?"
The normal process is born out of an awareness that people can bite back sometimes, and so "they" will take seriously trying to justify their actions. After a while, things get quiescent, and some of "they" start fooling themselves that it is impossible that the people not on top would ever bite back, and they stop bothering themselves with worrying about it.
For some reason (as with pretty much any other "what the fuck are you doing to do about it" situation), when people do do something about it, it's all of a sudden an outrageous betrayal, an offense against decency that no one could have seen coming.
A court that strongly supports the second amendment should not drive the populous to believe it is their only option.
Don't forget that rapists stick together too, he has to support his fellow rapist.
There will be no justice until all five of them are either in a maximum security prison, or executed in public
