It really had nothing to do with Trump, except that he has done nothing to address the issue and instead tends to respond with force. When in history have you seen a popular protest movement successfully and permanently put down by force?

If Trump wins, then nothing has changed and protests will continue about as much as now. If Biden wins, he will announce a raft of police reform actions and the protesters will go home. The real civil war threat is if one candidate is declared the winner and the other side is convinced that the election was a fraud.
You've summed up [color="blue"]DemocRAT party elections policy perfectly

Why? And don't appeal to sentimentality. Be objective, like you were talking to someone who isn't compromised by emotions and Pavlovian-programming.

Archaic thinking on the RW's part. Breaking news: weapons can be many things, not just your beloved pistola's and Tommy guns. There's a whole bunch of kids living in those lefty towns and cities cranking out software that keeps your phones, electrical infrastructure, water systems, credit card and banking systems and a host of other things working.

Maybe the RW won't be so tough when their phones, bank accounts, cars, and who knows what else are fried in a few keystrokes by some 'wimpy' lib you thought you owned or intimidated with your gun shop trophies.

Seems it was reported that man with a BLM tat on his neck shot and killed a Trump supporter and the Biden BLM/Antifa crowd went wild...'We got one' and 'take out the trash'. Do you subscript to that behavior?
Whataboutism.

Looting is wrong as are gun carrying Trump supporters, that was not a peaceful protest by the Trump convoy.

Years ago, if someone says Portland has a massive protest nobody would believe you. The North West area is so beautiful and scenic. Now, it's like 1/2 the state has been infected by some zombies.
