ROFL
Trump didn't prevent civil war. Think back to what happened after the Jan 6 insurrection. When they failed to stop Biden's certification by valiantly committing minor vandalism and taking selfies, MAGA ominously promised that vague "actions" would occur in state capitals on his inauguration day. That day came and went, and the few "actions" that even happened had attendance in the dozens - mostly pathetic loners holding cardboard signs in the rain. The fired-up revolutionaries saw their freedom-fighting heroes methodically tracked down by the FBI and arrested, so instead of a civil war uprising they stayed home and posted angy tirades on Parler.
Contrast this with any real cause, like the BLM marches, which saw thousands of people show up week after week, in city after city, in spite of police beatdowns, arrests, and even some deaths. The difference is personal commitment. MAGAs are great at making loud noises, but when they're faced with the prospect of individual risk, most of them just hide in their freedom bunkers and shake their tiny fists at the TV. That bunch of blowhards will stock up on survival rations and tactical desert boots, but they couldn't civil war their way out of a Walmart.
