It's hard to watch the protesting, the police brutality and abuse of power, and the absolutely brutal politiking that is going on in the US right now and really wonder if they're heading towards a civil war regardless of the outcome of the November election. Even a Biden victory is going to cause so much furor amongst his base due to his attacks on the media and the legitimacy of the voter system.

It has all the hallmarks of an attempt at a dictatorship, and you can literally plot the chart against any other strongman dictator's rise to power, and what Trump has been doing. The Republicans, and I don't just mean the party, but those on the ground must act for the good of their country first, and forget their party allegiance, as to do otherwise is to risk the very foundations of their democracy.

Regardless, they're kinda fucked, but we won't really know whether they can recover until 2021.
