How Close We Came to a Civil War


The recent assassination attempt on President Donald Trump during his rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, has brought the United States perilously close to the edge of civil war.


The above image depicts the potential trajectory of the projectile and just how close it came to causing a fatal injury, illustrating the narrow escape and the potential for a much more tragic outcome.


The United States is already deeply polarized, with increasing incidents of political violence and escalating rhetoric. The assassination attempt on Trump could serve as a catalyst for further unrest, pushing the nation closer to civil conflict. Trump's supporters, feeling marginalized and attacked by mainstream media and political opponents, may see this as a final straw, leading to widespread demonstrations and potentially violent clashes.


Historically, political assassinations and attempts have often served as flashpoints for significant social and political upheaval. The attack on Trump could be seen in a similar light, with the potential to ignite a period of intense conflict. As the nation grapples with this incident, it is crucial to consider the broader implications for democracy and the rule of law.


The road to November looks like its gonna be a rocky ride.
