The Election That Could Break America - The Atlantic Magazine

[jimmyzvoice]

There is a cohort of close observers of our presidential elections, scholars and lawyers and political strategists, who find themselves in the uneasy position of intelligence analysts in the months before 9/11. As November 3 approaches, their screens are blinking red, alight with warnings that the political system does not know how to absorb. They see the obvious signs that we all see, but they also know subtle things that most of us do not. Something dangerous has hove into view, and the nation is lurching into its path.

1. The Atlantic knows how to run articles to up their sales, now I wonder how much Putin is invovled

with them as it appears to be a constant stream all with the appearance to cast more doubt and create more chaos. Straight from Kremlin's playbook and don't think "liberal outlets" are immune from doing this

2. A long read, but a good one

For months, I have been pooh-poohed when I suggested that this country might break into at least two parts. Should any of the scenarios envisioned in this Atlantic article come to pass, it or a combination of it and other plausible outcomes would be the basis used by some who are willing to tear the country apart. And I have absolutely no doubt that Trump would lead that movement.
