I need some help on a story that I am writing and I'm looking for suggestions.
In the story a constitutional crisis occurs in the US which serves as a catalyst for the events of the plot. The crisis itself is not the focus of the story but, it is important as it along with the actions of the protagonist eventually lead to the climax, a coup against the government.
The story if going well but, I haven't settled on the natural of the constitutional crisis. One idea I have is abolishing the second amendment but, this seems a little too obvious.
I'm looking for a crisis that can occur in real and is so controversial that it eventually leads to military intervention, even to a possible civil war. The natural of the crisis will significantly influence many aspects of the story which is why I haven't settled yet.
I'm looking for ideas and I'm open to all sorts of suggestions, from the mundane to radical ones. I'm all ears.

A leftist reaction to trump in 2020/2024 facing off against an extremely conservative supreme court regarding any number of issues

This is a better idea, but replace Trump with a made up conservative president. All of Trump's supporters are going to die of burger overdoses since they'll be unable to pay for the Healthcare that would save them, so he won't get reelected.

The story takes place during the later half of the 21st century but, I do want to use the leftist vs rightist angle. In the story liberals become so radicalized that they essentially become Jacobins/communists while conservatives become radical reactionaries and, what I like to call, post-fascists.
All characters are fictional though and I will like to avoid using real people/events. The best way to put it is that US politics devolves into Wiemar Germany just without the world war.
