E69: Will the US Have a Civil War with @WhatifAltHist's Rudyard Lynch

"Moment of Zen"

NOTE

Anticipating Unpredictable History

Anticipating and expecting a reasonable world is in itself unreasonable as history has shown a tendency for resorting to violence quickly. The possibility of major political shifts like an 'American Caesar' or a 'true American Caesar' who radically changes the establishment, akin to a political revolution, appears more likely than a traditional civil war with armies battling it out. Placing someone like Trump in office could serve as a release valve for the disaffected, providing a platform for expressing discontent with the establishment. The notion of Trump being a catalyst for potential insurrection, especially if imprisoned post-election, is considered more impactful than past events like January 6th.
