The worst possible end is “Civil” War. To be selfish for a second. I will loose everything, so will you and you and you. I truly pray that we start to grab onto the cliff we jumped off and start the decrease. But what must be done to start that will not. So I as a Libertarian Conservative have prepared for several outcomes. And the more I’m looked at as a stupid crazy Conservative that can be enslaved, the better chance I have.

I stay away from most people, not because I don’t like to be social. I stay away because Civil War is, brother against brother. And familiarity breeds hesitation. I would suggest before we get to that point let’s try to just defund the government. 50% to start.

I concur that is the worst case scenario. Nobody wants the wafting stench of death floating through their neighborhood. Be prepared for whatever best we can, then get engaged in the community and start building relationships and networks. This is both practical and tactical. In my mind, holing up and waiting for the worst only hastens the likelihood it happens. As an optimist, I believe the chances of there actually being blood in the streets is highly unlikely -- and the chances are decreased further still by building strong community connections, so people can stand together peacefully to defend constitutional norms at the local level. As a bonus, if we get enough people connected and engaged, we COULD defund the government--but it sure as hell isn't going to happen without a lot more people!

Nikki Haley might replace Biden on the Democrat ticket?

As crazy as it sounds, I wouldn't take anything off the table. That said, it does seem like they're setting up for a Biden v. Trump "death match" -- which, if that's the case, can only mean one thing: they've got something up their sleeve if Trump makes it back into office. It will be very interesting to see how things go after the primaries wrap up and we head into the general election!
