I was once a Boy Scout.
Yes, something is going to happen. This country is going to learn a lesson. Knowledge once learned has been forgotten and needs to be refreshed.
I don't know how you prepare for this exactly. You just need to be prepared. I have been prepared for decades. I thought Carter was bad and would be the lesson, but it was not to be. I thought the fall of the Russian empire would cause a world war, but it did not.
I had my guns loaded for weeks after the 2000 election and nothing happened. On 9/11 I was prepared, something did happen but I could not help. I remained prepared.
Here I am again, prepping for something I can't see, and there is a good chance nothing will happen, but I am prepared, none the less.
That's all you can do.
