General Discussion

between the political factions in the US.

The lines are drawn and there is no turning back now on either side.

I believe that supporters of democracy will win in the end. Even if Trump gets into the WH after this year's election, his attempts at autocratic rule will arouse strong resistance that will break out into full scale fighting when he tries to attack the resistance. We will win that fight, but at a great cost in life and infrastructure.

If Biden wins this year's election, the MAGAs will immediately call for all out war and insurrection. They will lose, but will cause great loss of innocent life and infrastructure destruction.

The collision is going to happen. I see no way to avoid it. It would be to our advantage for Biden/Harris to win the election and be in charge of response to the insurrectionist violent reaction, although they would be the first targets of the violence with help from foreign agents in the US.

If Trump pulls off a "win," his supporters might wait until he is sworn in to begin the purges and violence, but there will be localized expressions of it before that. Swift, strong responses will be necessary, even if they mean defiance of court injunctions and rulings.
