Perhaps. But when in the last 100 years have we had a party telling their people to openly resist policies they disagree with and egging on armed protest (against COVID regulations) and armed resistance against peaceful protesters (BLM).
When it devolves into something more than "1 guy got shot in Portland", it's going to happen FAST.
This is the entirety of the Russian disinformation plan, IMO. Republicans ultimately want authoritarian rule, which is seen in their many, many attempts to position the executive as above checks or balances. Most of all, they just want to win, and will ignore any prior perceived "rule of law" to do it. Russia has aimed to weaken us as a world leader, and it remains to be seen if our reputation has already been damaged beyond the point of no return.
