4. They're Not Going To Surrender

I agree that the election this November, however tarnished and damaged, will be hugely important. The stakes are even higher than the Civil War. After all, if the South had won, the outcome would have been horrific (i.e., continued enslavement for black people), but the North would have been spared some degree of internal conflict until World War II, when the South would have entered on the side of Hitler -- Aryans must stick together -- and made the outcome of that war more doubtful. Now, however, if the MAGA/South-Will-Rise-Again people win, our vestigial democracy will come to an end. Moreover, if the MAGA/South/Republican/Conservatives lose the election, they will continue sabotaging the country, because they do not feel themselves required to be a loyal opposition. They are the original monkey wrench gang and will go about subverting the New Reconstruction with entitled intransigence, unremitting propaganda, and all the resources of their plutocrats, their Russian mafia, their Wall Street greed freaks, and their useful idiot corporate boys. This Civil War will not end with the upcoming election.
