MSNBC Anti-Trump Melodrama: 'Vote As If Your Life Depends On It—Will We Survive?'

It was anti-Trump melodrama to the max on Jonathan Capehart's MSNBC show on Sunday.
Michael Beschloss, the liberal historian turned Twitter troll, looked directly into the camera [see screencap] and beseeched the viewers: "Vote as if your life depends on it. Because it might."
Then, a panicky Capehart asked Beschloss: "are we going to survive this?"
"I don't know," replied Beschloss.
But before poor Jonathan could do something rash, Beschloss added that he doubted there'd be an actual civil war in a military sense, and noted that America overcame the fascist threat of the 1930s.
Beschloss, who was recently in a gaggle of liberal historians invited to the White House to adviser Biden before the raid, made two incendiary claims:
-- He said that Kevin McCarthy threatened Merrick Garland, telling him that unless he laid off Trump, "there would be violence." There somehow a violent threat in this? “When Republicans take back the House we will conduct immediate oversight of this department, follow the facts, and leave no stone unturned. Attorney General Garland, preserve your documents and clear your calendar.”
-- And he claimed there were reports that Trump tried to send a message to Garland, saying that unless he were granted some form of immunity, there would be "civil war."
