They’re trying to suggest prepping for the “inevitable” civil war. Sane people don’t recommend amassing weapons and imply anarchy over an election.

You must be thinking of the "sane" that exists in your version of the world where you believe Democrats will win the vote, Trump accepts the loss with a graceful congratulatory speech to Biden, the Mets win the world series, love conquers all, and somehow, all the fucking lunatic/racist/homophobe/suckered/religious/nutjob-types (not saying all republicans) just decide to back down and play fair.

It might not be sane people who start a civil war. But that doesn't mean sane people won't be drawn into it, or targeted.
