    I have no idea what the spark is going to be, but its coming.

    Historically there will be a false flag attack on some important military or government structure. Trump will blame liberals, despite it being obvious shortly afterwards that they bombed themselves intentionally.

    Thats why immediately after 9/11 there were conspiracys that “Bush planned 9/11”. Not saying I agree with that, but I understand where the idea comes from. It’s an old tactic that goes all the way back to at least Ghengis Khan.

    It’s even happened in American history. Blame the Maine on Spain.

    So, maybe expect a military base, or the statue of liberty to be bombed. And then trump will say he needs full military in the streets. He doesn’t, but he’ll say that, and he’ll get it.

    The only question is, as the Army marches through the streets, will they be goose stepping?

      Or it could be the economy tanking,a particularly bad winter storm or other natural disaster, another epidemic/pandemic, a complicit billionaire caught on a hot mic doing something dumb with the world watching, another inflamed and unstable right winger takes another run at Trump for some unhinged reason.

      We’re in such a precarious position right now that we’re ready to burst at one of our many weak seams.
