Commentators and analysts fear a two-year civil war in the United States. Since Trump has shouted that the Democrats stole the election from him and that Joe Biden is not the legitimate president of the United States.
He himself launched hostilities by inciting his supporters to invade the Capitol to prevent Vice President Mike Pence from asserting his electoral defeat to Congress.
The Republicans are getting ready
Republican midterm candidates follow suit by rousing their electorate with election ads featuring them, assault rifles in hand, and dressed in combat gear, claiming that they are preparing to confront their Democratic, liberal and socialist enemies. The whole planet if necessary.
In one video, a fabricated Ohio candidate, fat and bearded with a sinister expression, walks through rubble with an AR-15 ready to fire. He tells his constituents that the United States must be given its rightful place. His motto: “Make America dominant again.” He won the Republican nomination.
In Missouri, another Trump candidate, assault rifle in hand, swears to hunt down Reno (a Republican in name only), Republicans who oppose Trump. The war continues!
The Republican Party turned into a neo-fascist formation with its armed battalions such as the Pride Boys and other militias.

The noose is tightening on Trump
The attorney general, lax Merrick Garland, finally decided to act. He is no longer afraid that Trump’s impeachment will look “political”. He should now be more concerned about the message he would send if he didn’t accuse him.
The federal investigation is heading toward accusations of rioting or inciting rebellion against Trump. Following his recent revelations before the January 6 commission, the facts are unequivocal regarding the pivotal role he played in the unrest on Capitol Hill.
The Wall Street Magazine It is reported that key advisers to Vice President Mike Pence are cooperating with federal prosecutors. They explained to the grand jury Trump’s illegal moves to nullify the results of the 2020 election.
Set fire to the powder
So it should be Trump’s turn soon to receive a subpoena. He will refuse to comply with the subpoena, as did his co-conspirator, Steve Bannon. The temptation would be strong to fortify themselves in Mar-e-Lago if the FBI tried to catch him.
Do you think Trump would hesitate to appeal to his supporters and organized militias in more than 40 countries to defend him? It could also encourage them to occupy symbolic or strategic US government positions. Far-right militias, often made up of former soldiers and police officers, aim to resist the “tyranny” of the federal state.
His candidacy for the 2024 presidential election will further confuse the case by complicating the criminal proceedings against him.
It looks bad for Trump and the United States.
