It’s always a concern when a new politician comes forward. There is a worry about civil unrest, and even though you might think that “civil war” is a bit excessive, there are underlying tensions and polarisation in the U.S. that make a war worth considering. We have compiled a list of reasons why some people argue that the victory of Trump would cause significant conflict or civil unrest.
Legal Challenges to the Election
Tensions could draw out when there are protracted legal battles over the election results. This could then increase the likelihood of civil unrest.
Deepening Polarisation
There is already a political divide, and a victory from Trump could deepen this and cause more of a divide, exacerbating tensions between the different ideological groups.
Inflammatory Reaction from Opposition
If there becomes an intense adverse reaction from the opposition to Trump, this could spark protests, ultimately escalating into more significant conflicts.
Perceived Legitimacy Concerns
There could be widespread protests and the potential to create civil unrest if there are concerns about the election’s legitimacy.
Erosion of Institutional Trust
Widespread disillusionment could be caused if there is a perceived undermining of critical democratic institutions. The trust of the public could become eroded due to this.
Rhetorical Escalation
Strong reactions might appear because of Trump’s combative rhetoric. This could then lead to the fueling of more intense political climates.
Failure to Address COVID-19
There has been a massive dissatisfaction with how politicians responded to COVID-19. This created frustrations and discontent with the public, which could further add to civil issues.
Social Media Amplification
Social media is where everyone goes to have a rant, and the victory of Trump can cause extreme views and online agitation.
Weaponization of Misinformation
The spreading of misinformation is easy, but it can cause volatile environments, leading to further potential conflict if specific facts are disputed.
Militant Group Mobilization
As there is a higher perceived emboldening of groups that are extremists, this could provoke countermovement’s. This will then lead to potential clashes.
International Inference Fears
There could be concerns over foreign interference in the election results, which could lead to fears and unrest among various public members.
Unresolved Racial Tensions
Trump has a stance on racial issues, which could agitate tensions, and this could then spark unrest in various specific communities.
Media Distrust
If there are continued attacks on media integrity, this could cause an undermining of the public’s trust in information. This will lead to anger and confusion, which could ultimately cause unrest.
Perception of Autocratic Behaviour
Fears could arise if there are accusations of authorization tendencies. This could then cause democratic erosion, which will mobilize opposition.
Economic Discontent
Dissatisfaction will arise due to the economic policies widening inequality. This could cause various segments of the population.
