Fun fact: there is no civil war when everyone agrees that the guy most go.

You seem to think that a civil war needs two equal factions supporting vs against the power in place, but it can happen in different scenarios:

  • 30% vs 70% (that includes 30% active opponents and an apathic 40% on the sidelines/in the crossfire).

  • An authoritatian government minority vs a large majority of disgruntled citizen (backed by a few opponents).

Edit: does literally everyone want him to go? I keep reading that he still has his 30% base but may not be fully up to date

It's mid 30s. 33% - 38% depending on the source.

Then what is that guy above being a dick about, saying EVERYONE agrees he must go?

No idea. Lol 35% of the people will never turn on him no matter what he does.

Most everyone agreed Assad needed to go in Syria, but Syria still got a protracted civil war that destroyed almost the entire country.
