  • I’ve kinda been predicting this since his first term, worst case scenario (and at this point increasingly more likely) would be a Syrian civil war style destabilization from within. Fractured and splintered into a number of militias fighting locally for their perceived community/religious sect/ethnicity against a much better equipped state military that can’t cope with the scale of things. Retaliation and backlash against other groups, within and outside of said community, extrajudicial and casual killings, etc.

    In other words, a nightmare. This country is just so damn big and full of so many different kinds of people and ideas

    Edit bc I just remembered: FUN FACT, at my last job there was a customer I was real cool with, helped him build a Baja 5.0 Ranger. Dude was a Brazilian DACA dreamer who was a diehard trump supporter along with his family, who made it very clear his naturalization was on HIM and they wouldn’t help (they had gotten their citizenship). Very conservative, probably big bolsonaro fans.

    He was one of the few trump guys actually interested in what some stupid leftie in a red state had to say, and actually heard me out on this ^ theory. I wonder where he is now.
