If you haven't been paying attention to American politics, there are currently widespread protests due to a woman being shot by ICE last week. It looks like the current administration may be seeking violent unrest in the hopes of delaying elections.

Or is it the financial backers of the protests that want a civil war?

Civil war requires two militaries. Tiananmen Square wasn’t a civil war.

But if there is a civil war, what were you going to be able to do with the USD anyway?

There were large protests in the wake of a law enforcement officer killing someone in 2020 too. Notably, there was not a civil war, even though the Trump administration used the protests as cover for bad behavior then too
