I would hate for that to happen. That would destroy the country, and would send the world into chaos.
No one wants to see that happen - but the destigmatization of treason that the Boom Awakening played host to makes it exponentially more likely to happen.
Yeah but an attack of that magnitude every single week? That's just too traumatizing. It would be a very hard 4T if that were to happen. We would probably not see the country triumph after that.
Right now the active spiral of violence involves the police and black people. Economics hasn't tied into violence yet.
That could change with a Trump presidency. During the campaign to date, when he has been crossed by political rivals or the press, he attacks, provokes and sometimes seeks revenge. He hasn't been a conciliator. He's loth to admit a mistake and eager to confront those pointing out his mistakes. If he uses the power of the government to punish those who disagree with him, I could see a spiral getting out of hand easily enough.
Hillary has her faults, but I don't see her crating a spiral of violence that way.
That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
