> As long as he promises to make their bank accounts grow, and make their perceived enemies suffer, they want a king.

They have given up on the "make their bank accounts grow" thing. The tariff tax and stock market sliding down doesn't appear to bother them. Neither does the fact that he promised to make their groceries cheaper in one day. And the opposite is happening.

Making the perceived enemies suffer is the big thing. "I may not have enough to feed my family, but if you make marginalized people I don't like suffer, you have my support."

They are asking for violence against their enemies. Some of the poorest people I know are huge Trump supporters.

So long as he hurts the right people, they love him.

It's because they blame their current status on "the other". Why can't they get a job? Because a foreigner "stole" it. Why is government aid failing to keep up? Because the bad people that don't deserve it are draining their deserved benefit.

But further, their religious texts say times will get tough before their Messiah comes back, so if Trump makes them personally suffer "well, hopefully Jesus will be back soon".

Is there a chance of a civil war, or are the royalists in the majority and will win anyway, so no one will dare?

There is zero chance of a civil war. That would require entire states, not just citizens.

Republican state governors and legislators have drank the Trump Kool aid, Democrats need trump to run against to stay in office.

The people are fat and lazy and either comfortable or uncomfortable enough not to have spare time.

It's a fucking train wreck. Nothing means anything and everything is bullshit.

I’m in a solidly red state. Nobody is asking for that.

What they want is mostly fair representation in media, entertainment, and politics. Look no further than Saturday Night Live to understand how conservatives are misrepresented and liberals are given a free pass. Fix that and people will generally be more satisfied.
