Four in ten Americans believe that a civil war is possible in the next few years. The assault on the Capitol when Trump lost the last election showed that the politics of hate has consequences and Europe seems to be copying the model, ushering in the era of ‘hate-cracy’.

A claim that was corroborated on January 6, 2021, with the entry into the Capitol by Donald Trump’s supporters and encouraged by the Republican. “We do not want to see our electoral victory stolen from us “the emboldened radical left Democrats, and that’s what they’re doing,” Trump said before everything that happened at the Capitol.

Although all this was predictable and expected. A decade earlier Peter Turchin, a scientist at Duke University, had warned that something similar to what happened at the Capitol was going to happen. In an article he announced a “growing instability” in the United States and Western Europe in the years around 2020.

Blas Moreno, co-director and editor-in-chief of ‘The World Order’, explained to laSexta that Turchin goes so far as to say that if the United States continues on the path it is going, it could end in a civil war. “In Europe we are not as bad as the United States, but we can be like the United States in 10 or 15 years”.
