It is very easy for me to do so - especially if Trump does win the election.
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.
Obviously 3,000 people won't be killed in every attack. But weekly petrol-bombings of police stations - and perhaps a redux of the Zebra shootings of San Francisco from the '70s, in multiple cities concomitantly?
Quite plausible.
What I was talking about is the large-scale destruction of buildings and its detrimental attack on the economy as well as the loss of lives.
