   Starting to think either a civil war or military coup and “interim administration to restore order” in the US in the next decade is now more likely than not. 😞

     In 2020 the military pointedly wasn't on Trump's side, so at least there's that...

     @sabik Worst case is probably if the shit hits the fan and the military can’t pick a side.

     @BonehouseWasps @clacksee England has had, like 7, at least.

     They happen. They’re never pleasant.

     @clacksee @goatsarah The place is clearly due some sort of hard reset. I had hope it could avoid it - at least within my lifetime, now I'm not so sure.

     The first US civil war wasn't, really, civil. Because there was a foreign occupying power to fight. Maybe every nation has to go through a 'proper' one. It certainly feels like the nation is irreperably split. Maybe that will keep them occupied for the next 4 years.

     Yep. I’d go so far as to say within the next year.

     @goatsarah @clacksee This is why, as America has been quietly arming its populace, the rest of the world has been vigorously shaking its head.

     Googled it, btw. Thanks for the Wiki homework. 😁
