Some people are worried that the promise of a civil war may become a
reality --- the democratic majority (especially if the election is close in
some key states) will have to rely on the "discipline" of the police forces
and the military -- especially the hierarchy --- Granted the military
hierarchy will stick with the ruling class -- but there could be SERIOUS
civil disorders by the "militias" and who knows where the local police
forces will be -- (throw in ICE agents who are BIG supporters of Trump as
well as the military folks who have been brainwashed) --- I do believe that
unless there is very successful voter suppression, that the Dems will pull
it out -- BUT -- it will depend on the Obama coalition coming out to vote

:I do not agree with this article. I don’t think it’s a good analysis.
Firstof all, the author completely fails to understand what’s really at
work inthese proceedings, which is another way of saying he ignores the

finallydecided that it cannot allow a demented (seriously) person to

their influence over the US population is still very strong.

In the course of the hearings all sorts of dirt will come out. This will
drive all but the Trump fanatics into the Democrats’ camp. As for the
fanatics, I don’t think they are a majority in most states. Already the
polls show Trump losing in many swing states that he won in 2016. These
include Ohio, Pennsylvania and others. These hearings will strengthen that
trend. Yes, it will heighten the convictions and emotions of the fanatics.
That could drive them to even greater violence, but it won’t help re-elect
Trump.
