“It’s impossible to look around and not wonder whether the US is teetering on the brink—though of what, is the question. Ordinary, reasonable people are openly talking about whether the country is on the verge of something comparable to a slow-rolling civil conflict, if not something worse. They’re not alone. Historians of those conflicts are worried. They’re not concerned about a full-blown civil war, featuring rival divisions of the US Army staging set-piece battles over territory, but something else that even the experts have a hard time putting their finger on.” (10/22/25)
