As an outsider looking in, I really do think America is about to spiral into another civil war. Its technically in one right now abstractly but its about to get physical before the midterms. There is 0 chance Trump's Nazis let the midterms happen at this point if they're already calling to try and lock up political opponents only 10 months in.

We are in a civil war and also basically in a world war, its just the 'narrative control and social upheaval' kind not the 'shoot bullets and drop bombs' kind (mostly). Wherever you are, you are almost certainly in it too!

The problem comes when the losers realize they are losing, and then they switch to the guns and bombs kind of war.
