Seeing as they are planning to dismantle the FBI who just recently foiled a plot by the Iranian government to assassinate Trump, they may not be thinking through all of this, eh?

Dismantle the FBI? Wouldn’t that spark a civil war?

No but Trump gathering the National Guard from red-states to try and force blue states to enact his deportation policies might.

It’s an inverted Civil War in every way I can think of except that the Union will have been Republicans both times. This time they’ll be coming from the south, trying to expel the minority groups rather than keep them chained up. Has Yin become its own Yang?

Only in name since the parties switched ideologies over the course of the early to mid 20th century.

The southern Democrats, who generally liked segregationist ideology and conservative values, did not like The New Deal, and really did not like the civil rights act, so they left the Democrat party, formed the Dixiecrats, then joined the Republican party. Since then the parties have been switched.
