As we rush towards late 2024, early 2025 with the fate of America for decades to come will be decided, there is one thing that hasn’t happened yet that you might otherwise be expecting — political violence.
I definitely don’t want political violence to happen, but if you accept that the country is tearing itself apart like it did in the 1850s, then it would be logical to assume that similar things might begin to happen. As such, I continue to have a lingering fear that we might see some sort of unexpected, spectacular political violence not in the streets — but in the halls of Congress.
Should any such thing tragically happen, that is when I will sit up and take notice. That type of event would lead me to believe that when the moment comes in late 2024, early 2025 that the single biggest event in world history since the French Revolution probably is going to happen — the United States will either have a civil war or a revolution (depending on which side wins the 2024 election.)
We’ve apparently come pretty close in the last few years, but my fear is with all the fucking guns in the country these days, there is a real risk of some sort of mass casualty event in Congress itself when someone — probably a Republican Representative — freaks out and starts shooting people.
I don’t want any such thing to happen, but that’s my fear.
