I don't think either of those scenarios would happen. Maybe a civil war's coming, but we're not there yet. Or at least not quite yet.
I think worst case scenario outside literal king trump is project 2025 ensures enough gerrymandering and partisan hackery gets put in place such that dems never again see house and senate majorities or the presidency in our lifetimes, and then the freedoms that are the will of the vast majority like Roe continue to fall. Gay marriage will be next, guaranteed.
I don't necessarily disagree with this, but like I mentioned in another comment, with a bribed SCOTUS giving the legal power to execute political rivals to the president (according to Kagen anyway), by the time the first dem pols are up against the wall it might already be too late. Which is why I asked where someone should've stepped in with Hitler-- I don't know history well enough to draw enough parallels to make an educated guess, but things look a little bleak the way it's going.
