I hope everyone here understands these facts and is preparing accordingly within their communities.

      I always see the chuds getting together to plan the uprising, and shooting each other within ten minutes after getting into an argument over who gets to be the general.

      The only problem I have with this take is that the militias have largely merged with the police departments. I think cops around the country are ready to act as Trump’s brown shirts and are just waiting for him to give the word. It wouldn’t be organized but it would be violent

        This is true, but the American populace is still highly armed. If it did come down to some kind of a civil war with the police vs civilians, the police would find themselves in a precarious situation. Fighting an insurgency against a heavily armed population is impossible when the military does it in another country - how would the police manage?

        And lurking in the background is the real 'might makes right', the US military which is far more diverse then police departments. The US military would just bomb every police precinct into oblivion.

        That's why I think radicalizing soldiers is low key a great idea. Officers will never be radicalized, but they're such a tiny fraction of the armed forces.

      I'm expecting the bourgeoisie aligned with the Democrats will rally portions of the country to secede, or threaten to secede.

      That, or use their connections within the US military, which they have stronger connections with than Trump;

          Because the rate of profit this year is plummeting. We're in the greatest crisis of finance capitalism in history. Within the next few weeks, we're going to see a massive financial crisis spurred on by uncertainty in this election, a la 2008 & 1908. The Fed has basically destroyed the value of the US Dollar over the past six months, but the speculative economy has been able to hide that fact from us. The bourgeoisie are aware of this fact, though. And they are preparing accordingly.

          The crisis of finance capitalism is resolved through imperialist war, where factions of the imperialist bourgeoisie struggle amongst each other for ever-shrinking surplus value. The bourgeoisie can not engage in peaceful coexistence. That's a proven fact of history.

      I know that we haven't seen the Democrats fight but I definitely think if Trump refuses to leave you'll see a fight for it. Trump also is probably going to just resign so Pence can pardon him.
