The more Trump gets into legal trouble and there isn’t, liike, blood on the streets, the more I’m beginning to wonder if maybe, just maybe, I’m overthinking what might happen in late 2024, early 2025. It could be that what happened on January 6th was a very specific incident, with every specific conditions, not to be repeated.
And, yet, it definitely seems as though we’re careening towards Something Bad in late 2024, early 2025 in association with the 2024 election. Both sides have reason — at the state level — to freak out over whatever outcome might happen to occur as part of the 2024 presidential election cycle.
Reds will want a civil war because they want to “own the libs,” while Blues will want a revolution so they can topple the tyranny of the “Magadoina” regime. And, yet, we’re STILL to far out from these events for me to game out any hard and fast scenarios.
I’ve written a lot from a lot of different angles about how a civil war / revolution might come to the US….but…I don’t know. It could be that while Trump has a stranglehold on the Republican base, if he loses, he just won’t have the power I think he has. He’ll scream about how Texas should leave the Union — and they’ll think seriously about doing it — but, in the end, nothing will come of it.
But the more I think about it, the more it definitely seems clear to me that we won’t face rolling political violence as a result of the passions of the 2024 election, but, rather either a civil war (Reds) or a revolution (Blues.) It will be organized at the state level and will involve WMD, World War Three breaking out and probably a few H-bombs being lobbed our way by the DPRK.
In other words — it’s going to suuuuuuuck.
And, yet, here we are.
