   The thing is, you don't start a civil war over cheap gas. The cost of a war, and the collateral damage from one, is orders of magnitude greater than whatever profit you might make from higher gas prices.
   
   But what happened between 2020 and now was not like a dispute over energy policy. You have one team rigging the election and then using the state apparatus to incessantly prosecute the other team in order to destroy them.
   
   And may I reiterate, whether YOU think 2020 was rigged, or whether YOU think they used the DOJ to destroy their enemies doesn't matter worth a damn. All that matters is what Musk/Thiel/etc think, and I guarantee you every one of those guys sat down and watched 2000 Mules, and then sent their assistants to double-check some of the claims.
   
   In politics as in poker. You play competitively following certain agreed-upon rules. Anyone can break those rules at any time, but if you get caught, well, you meet Mr. Saturday Night Special.
