The Coronavirus

But the red-blue civil war will erupt again if any Democratic administration is elected, because it will enact gun control, it will raise taxes, it will reverse social conservatism, and the fanatic right-wing will violently resist.

Maybe.  The Supreme Court will still be conservative, and will enforce the original interpretation of the Second Amendment.  The gun prohibition should be kept to closing the loopholes in attempted guards against felons and insane.  The need to raise taxes after the Coronavirus economic legislations should be obvious even to a conservative.  If Biden is forced to lead, maybe he can keep a grip on the country.

We’ll see.
