A podcast called "It could happen here" from iHeart radio recorded in 2019 predicted this with startling accuracy. To be fair, its not hard to predict where this is all heading.


Finished listening to "It could happen here" a few weeks ago. What a prescient narrative. Coupled with Mike Duncan's Revolutions podcast it helps put much of the current climate into perspective.

To anyone wondering what comes next given the current trajectory, red flags to look out for, and how to gauge the severity of events as they unfold, these are good starting points (obvs not comprehensive).

Makes sense. If the riots are organised and the DA's are arresting without prosecuting, the Feds could trail the released rioters to find the organisers.
