In one week

— a journalist has been shot with a rubber bullet while reporting in LA

— Trump has called for the arrest of governor Gavin Newsom

— US Senator Padilla has been handcuffed for asking a question of Kristi Noem

— Tanks are rolling in the streets of Washington DC

— And a murderer has attacked the homes of two Democratic politicians in Minnesota, killing two people and wounding several others.

I recall Trump claiming America under Biden was "going to hell"…

Where is it going now?

@randahl Civil War? The then cold civil war is fast becoming a real civil war under Trump.

@rodrigo_silva @randahl I didn't want to be the first to say it, cause I don't live there and it's not my fight. From where I am sitting though it looks like the way is being paved for civil war.

@Frenezul0_o @rodrigo_silva @randahl Civil war happens when there's clear geographic separation of subpopulations. Right now, it's all mixed together, with the biggest pattern being urban vs rural. I think fascists vs rebels is a more likely outcome.

@hosford42 @Frenezul0_o @rodrigo_silva @randahl "Civil war, a war between organized groups within the same state or country". Sounds apt right now.
