I'm really not trying to be "The Boy Who Cried Wolf" but this US Presidential Election continues to look more and more likely to be the most tense since 1860. January 6th will likely be less bad than whatever could happen in this election.
Donald Trump is all but guaranteed to get the Republican primary, and he will claim he won the primary and general election no matter what. A constitutional crisis will emerge if Donald Trump gets more indictments and especially convictions if he's president-elect or president again. And if he wins the primary and gets brought down before the general, I suppose the RNC would pick whoever he chooses as his running mate for the general election, and they'll have to find another VP running mate.
I don't foresee a Second American Civil War in the near future, as involuntary slavery is not on the line and the population is more sedentary.
The extent will differ, but there will be both peaceful and violent protests no matter which candidate is elected president.
Donald Trump and Joe Biden retiring probably would've been one of the best-case scenarios for both of the major parties.
The US House elections will be interesting to see as well. Republicans are only leading by 6 seats. That's a good amount in the Senate, not as much in the House. I think the two most likely events are the Republicans gaining another 5-10 seats or the Democrats gaining about 7-15. I don't think it will be a Red or Blue Wave in the House.
