Plus the right wing has all the guns. Ever see those Meal Team Six and Yall Qaida memes. Yeah these idiots are itching to pull the trigger and own the libruls any day.

You'll find that there are plenty on the left with guns. We just don't make it our whole personality so you don't see it as openly.

Realistically to TC's question though, no. Not in the sense that you are thinking. The likeliest scenario is simply that there are massive protests in all of the largest cities that will be brutally put down by police and DHS (like Portland a few years back) leading to massive unrest and a tanking of the economy, which the Trump administration will be completely unable to deal with due to it being filled with incompetent lickspittles.

What happens then determines the scale of violence that follows. If something to fix the economy doesn't happen then you'll have a shitload of people with nothing to lose. It's always then that things happen if they are going to. The French Revolution and The Russian Revolution especially were triggered by huge chunks of their populations that essentially had very little to lose. They were able to overwhelm and overthrow systems that should have been able to crush fairly quickly.

Thing is, in the scenario, you are looking at the dissolution of the US as a nation. Any left leaning Government installed in that scenario will be viewed as illegitimate by the every single red leaning state and a chunk of blue leaning ones as well. Which means a breakdown into regional factions that are unlikely to be able to control the majority of populations they ostensibly rule. IE China during the Warlord period prior to the Japanese invasion.
