America is a tinderbox.
A smouldering, snarling, hyper-partisan, violent tinderbox.
And decisions taken in the next few days and weeks will determine whether that tinderbox explodes or not – now or some place down the road.
I've lived and worked in the United States on and off for 15 years.
It's a country I've grown to love as a second home.
But right now, I've never been more worried for its future.
Three events in the past year have led to this breaking point: the coronavirus pandemic, George Floyd's killing, and Donald Trump's refusal to accept the result of the 2020 Election.
Americans are now fearful, for both their health and prosperity, mournful for all those lost to COVID-19, resentful and distrusting of their Government, and, increasingly, at dangerously enraged loggerheads with each other.
The appalling riots at the US Capitol last week represented the moment all the toxic tribalism fuelled by Trump erupted in a direct attack on the very heart of US democracy.
The more we learn of what went on that day, the worst it gets.
A police officer dragged into a frenzied mob where he was murdered.
A Nazi sympathiser with 'Camp Auschwitz' emblazoned on his T-shirt.
Armed thugs chanting 'HANG MIKE PENCE!' and building gallows and nooses to do just that.

Trump or Biden?
Yeah... hold Trump accountable for honoring his oath to the office of the president and upholding the rule of law.
That’s rich.
This Nancy boy want’s a front row at BiteMe’s coronation.
I don’t believe this snot-nosed brit considers the USA a true second home.
If so, he wouldn’t have the gun grabbing tendencies he has.
He's got a teenie weenie spy glass.
“...toxic tribalism fuelled by Trump..”
Take a hike you ringpiece.
This Limey bastard got his 15 minutes being around Trump when Trump was elected. Now he wants 15 more minutes for being a ‘former supporter’.
Either...both.
I can’t help but think ultimately Nancy Peabrain wants the job..she is definitely not going become President in any legitimate way.
Trump was great. He alerted Is to the gravity of the swamp and do’s all he could to prevent the commie takeover. He was martyred for his tenacity.
Isn’t he a Brit? WHO CARES WHAT HE SAYS.
That is a Democrat position, isn’t it?
Thanks for playing.
Do you expose yourself to everyone?
hear, hear
Uh, McCarthy was correct. May have gone about it poorly but correct. In the new today, I suppose it’s a bad thing though. Or something.
Well, actions speak louder than words. China Joe can mouth all the soothing platitudes he wants but my guess is that won’t stop the rest of the progressive fascists from continuing the suppression of conservatives.
And what is Trump “accountable” for, exactly? He did nothing wrong.
But Piers, it was okay for the great witch herself, Hillary, to tell Biden to never concede prior to election day. And why should Trump have accepted a fraudulent election.
Nazi gun grabber limey Piers Morgan.
Did it ever occur to this moron that the guy who had the “Camp Auschwitz” T-shirt....
And the guys shouting “Hang Mike Pence” were Antifa infiltrators?
And who the hell was “armed?”
Sorry.
“George Floyd’s killing”
No, it’s the REACTION of endless rioting that is one of the causative events.
Morgan shut up please you have no idea what the heck you are talking about.
I strongly recommend we do what they are doing to us. Sorry not sorry. WE are RIGHT and GOOD and THEY are WRONG and EVIL. That's it.
If Trump was re-elected, or he has a final Trump Card up his sleeve, we are supposed to go back to this new normal and let Obama, Soros, Pelosi, etc., down to the local school board member or c-nty 18 year old child who rats out her parents for attending a peaceful rally off the hook, as if nothing happened? We are supposed to let the media continue to lie, instead of hanging them-including their billionaire owners-from bridges? We are supposed to let them do the same stuff they have been doing for the last 50 years? No. They have exposed themselves. They need to be punished. They would do it to us.
