I'll preface this by saying that this is not a threat, nor is it a call for or an incitement to violence. It's pure common sense, pragmatism and logical foresight based on historical precedent.
With the resolution that just passed in the House of Representatives, a formal declaration of a coup against a duly elected President, it has become fully evident that another Civil War is coming, and political assassinations are coming as well. In fact, this Civil War will transform from a cultural 'cold' Civil War to a political/cultural 'hot' physically violent Civil War upon the very first of many many assassinations of both politicians and cultural celebrities.
People aren't ready yet to turn on the TV to see that their favorite leftist politician has been shot in the chest 4 times and the face once. Then, find out in the early afternoon that their favorite talk-show host has been shot in the chest/heart, their favorite actor/actress has been shot in the face, and their favorite musician has been riddled with bullets in a drive-by.
It's coming.
How will that devolve into a full-scale nationwide unrest?
American culture will die when celebrities and politicians start getting assassinated. When all the cultural celebrities feel like their lives are threatened and they are afraid to go out in public, they will flee the United States to Canada or New Zealand. No more late night hosts, no more actors/actresses in (((Hollywood))), no more comedians in comedy clubs, no more musicians making records or music videos. American culture will come to an abrupt end. When that bread-and-circus stops, leftists will lose their minds, blame conservatives, and start violently attacking random people in public.
Then it REALLY begins.
It's coming. Get ready.
Once the first high-profile assassination happens, it'll snowball out of control faster than any of us can imagine. Personally, I give it less than a week for nationwide civil unrest after the first major assassination.
It's coming. Get ready.

Except the Republicans won't sign off on it so it will be dead in the water. Even the House's vote is not enough to stir anyone into the kind of action you're anticipating. As for your assassination theories, I pray they never come to pass.

I think if the Senate shuts down the impeachment process (which they should), it will outrage a bunch of lefties. They might protest a little bit but they don't own guns and are generally a bunch of pussies who are outraged at everything all the time anyway. So likely nothing will come of it.
I think the most plausible trigger for the civil war will be Texas turning blue and the right realizing that they can't win elections anymore. After having socialism shoved down our throats for while a few states will have enough of it and a secession movement will begin. Other right leaning citizens will wish to join these states and rural and suburban areas will revolt against the cities.
I'm not sure whether those in power on the left will attempt to use the military to quell the uprising, considering the two thirds of the military leans right, many units will likely either defect or refuse orders. So it will probably mostly be peaceful except for small skirmishes here and there. Maybe some short term power disruptions and looting in the city centers.
I think we're talking 10-20 years down the line though.
