So how do you see a potential division in the country going down based on Trump?

Impossible. The US has not the reserves of youth and energy for civil conflict. If Trump wins the election I can imagine many scenarios of authoritarianism and civil unrest, but the country will not divide.

OK. Well the threat of secession was the main subject of this piece. So if you agree with me that it's not likely then it sounds like we're on the same page.

Oh sure. Mainly I was trying to spread my vision of this election as a Trial on the previous one. I find incredible how light words have come when non concession in 2020 (either if you think right or wrong) is not the main issue in 2024.

So, if all people votes in the basis of the only legitimate issue, Biden wins with a 60 per cent. Interesting
