The deportation is gonna come first. Military aid is America's bread an butter. Shutting down of news outlets will be "official acts". Democrats imprisoned will be an "official act"
That'll be the first year
And between now and January, Biden will never decide to make imprisoning Trump and his people an "official act" so the snowball has started rolling.
He's caught in a catch-22 with that idea; if he uses his expanded powers he may well spark another civil war, but if he doesn't, we face possible (perhaps even likely) conversion to a fascist dictatorship. I'd honestly prefer breaking up the country to the alternative.
One of the problems with that is that there isn't a geographical divide like the last time (north vs. south). Unfortunately, I live in a red area of California. Are we going to build a wall around our county? The major city in our county is a bit more liberal. How would that work?
Agreed, there's no easy geographical divide, making this all the more messy. I'd guess that such a partition would result in three countries (Northeast, South&Central, and West), but it would likely take a very bloody war first. I wish I knew how we could do it sanely. It's a pipe dream, I know, but one that I'd like to believe is possible.
The Republic of New England, the Pacific States of America, and Sherman's Regret.
That's a good season ender for this shit show
