Violence, whether verbal or physical, has always been a norm; non-violence a long-sought and occasionally achieved alternative.

Is America’s population increasing or decreasing? There are no excuses.

We're already there, and have been for a while, not just since the insurrection...

Becoming?

We will be way worse than a banana republic if the Trumplicans and their army of sycophants take power, we’ll wish we were a banana republic. It will be more like mid 1930’s Germany.

In some areas of this country it already is and has been for a long time. Areas in Alabama, Mississippi and Louisianna it's 3rd World level poverty for some folks.
There will be violence no matter who wins in 2022 and 2024.
Even if the gop gains both houses it will green light violence against all people of color, LTBGQ, trans people, atheist, Muslim, Jews, etc. If the gop fails to gain the senate there will be violence against all the aforementioned folks and also democratic leaders everywhere. It will only build more until we get to November 2024.
Pod Save America's John Favreau has a new one I found very interesting.

Your header reminded me of a book I read earlier in the year called Third World America by Arianna Huffington. It was written many years before the insurrection, so was mostly focusing on the decline of the middle class and the growing divide between rich and poor as a sign of Banana Republicanism in America. It’s only gotten worse since then, obviously.

It will be violent in places is my best bet. There were armed men at one early drop-off place today and they were berating and calling people "mules."
