    edit: I meant a full civil war

      From memory and a couple quick Google searches

      • January 6th, including both the violence at the national Capitol and related, often violent protests outside verious state capitols
      • Death threats to election count and poll workers
      • Republican legislator invites armed men into the Oregon State Capitol during a protest
      • Armed protestors rally around the tallying center in Detroit while the count was ongoing
      • Brawl with counterprotestors at the “million Maga march”
      • Violent “Stop the steal” protests in Sacramento

      I wouldn’t say there was just a little violence after the 2020 loss
