There's a couple things I haven't seen mentioned here - the fervent tone of right-wingers in the U.S. has a lot to do with the fact that whites are becoming a minority population. Settler states under demographic pressure like that typically go extra crazy and use increasingly unparliamentarian tricks until they completely lose power (one way or another) - or the race war is successful. That's why simultaneously right-wingers are going nuts about immigration, BLM, and Muslims. A saner entrenched ethnic elite might try to bring one group into the fold to keep oppressing the other two, but I think people today are too educated to fall for that kind of trick.

my only question is why does there have to be a historical precedent for everything? some loving things happening every single day have never had any historical analogy

i think comparing every single loving thing to past conflicts that happened before the advent of cars when a whole loving lot has changed in terms of war technology ALONE is p dumb, yea, is that nuanced or spergygoony or whatever you need it to be enough for you?
