I never know if my feelings about these things are overly alarmist due to my experiences, or if things are actually starting to get really unstable.
My gut is telling me that we're headed for another civil war, and that ~12/24 months is a realistic timeframe.
If you'd told me 3+ years ago that there'd be an insurrection, I wouldn't have believed it. And calling it a riot seems like deliberate gaslighting to downplay the seriousness and immediacy of the threat.
I'm definitely not the only person wondering this, and there are literally members of the current CIA advisory panel on political instability that are sounding the alarm. Not to mention high ranking ex-military voicing concern about the risk of an actual coup in the aftermath of the 2024 election.
But maybe I'm just paranoid, idk.
