Trump is not worth a civil war. But to stop and reverse the rot in the American political system characterized by marginalization of expertise, experience, and science, the demonization of public service and the pursuit of greater public good, the glorification of ruthless selfishness and self aggrandizement, cynical pandering to superstitions and self-destructive insecurities of those who decline to properly equip themselves for an evolving economy, and the encouragement of political polarization to serve the narrow interests of the already very well off, may well require something comparably drastic.
