I’ve gone back and forth on this for a decade in my head, I’m more or less convinced a schism is coming in the form of asymmetrical civil conflict. I pray that it won’t ever come to that because it would be the most deadly conflict in the history of humanity once other powerful countries become involved and it escalates to WW3.

The unfortunate truth one learns when studying history is that no one in a position of has ever learned a positive lesson from our past and take the action to avoid the mistakes the next time around

The schism is already here. Just look at the reaction to the New York fraud trial verdict. The rest of us are in denial, pretending that it won't escalate from what is just words now, but that's the way it always starts, no?

Oh I 100% agree that a worldview schism is already present, in many ways we’re already in the prelude. Robert Evans called this period the Crumbles in the original season of It Could Happen Here, which I think is the most reasonable prediction for how things will unfold
