What a new US civil war could REALLY be like: Rebel generals defect to Trump after Biden outlaws 'terrorist' MAGA supporters... then Antifa start a 'kill whites' campaign. Far-right militias execute minorities. Anarchy erupts. Forget the movie...
Flanked by two marines, President Joe Biden steps out of the Marine One chopper onto the tarmac at Andrews Air Force Base to declare a national emergency.
It's 6pm on January 6, 2025, 20 miles from Washington DC. 'Four years ago, on this very day, Donald Trump tried to steal democracy,' says the 82-year-old Commander-in-Chief, removing his Aviator sunglasses to signal the gravity of his point. 'He's doing it again, folks. We must stop him, no matter what.'
From now on, Biden decrees, Trump's Make America Great Again (Maga) movement will be designated a terrorist group. The Trump-owned Truth Social platform will be shut down. All internet sites publishing 'electoral misinformation' will be blocked.
Biden reiterates that, contrary to his opponent's claims, he has been re-elected. And he invokes his authority to federalise the National Guard until order can be restored. 'I never wanted to do this,' he insists. Above him, two F-22 Raptor jets rip through the sky, heading towards the Capitol.
Hours earlier, inside Washington DC, the 'Take Our Country Back' march, attended by 50,000 Trump fanatics, had descended into mass rioting. Left-wing 'Antifa' militants, in their neckerchiefs, threw Molotov cocktails into the red-hatted Maga crowds.
Shops were looted and smashed. Dozens of corpses lay on the grass of the National Mall. The Joint Session of Congress certifying the 2024 election has had to be abandoned. Three Democratic congressmen have gone missing, presumed dead.
As Biden makes his address, the man he blames for the chaos and bloodshed is 1,000 miles away in Florida, reading out his own statement from inside his Mar-a-Lago compound.
'This is a sad day,' says Donald Trump, surrounded by heavily armed men. 'We never wanted to do this, but we must take our country back. Crooked Joe has lost — twice — and he lost big. They can't steal another election.' He thanks Governor Ronald DeSantis, his former Republican rival, for formally offering him sanctuary in the state of Florida. 'We love you, Ron.'
In South Carolina, a far-Right militia calling itself 'the Calhouns' — after 'cast-iron man' John C. Calhoun, the staunchly pro-slavery 19th-century statesman — starts lining up black people in the streets and murdering them.
In Portland, Oregon, an Antifa leader known as 'Che' orders followers to 'kill whites on sight' — even though he is white himself.
On Telegram, the only working social-media platform, Trumpists and radical Democrats arrange a 'live ammo re-enactment' of the Battle of Gettysburg in Pennsylvania. Seven pro-Trump U.S. generals formally break with the Pentagon and order their subordinates to fight against 'the Biden Tyranny'.
Riots break out in every major city across America.
Governor Greg Abbott of Texas follows Florida in pledging allegiance to Trump. Governor Chris Sununu of New Hampshire, a 'NeverTrumper', is shot in the head by a mystery marksman while giving an open-air speech in the state capital of Concord.
California governor Gavin Newsom declares that, while he supports Joe Biden, with the nation in chaos, his Democratic state — with its economy bigger than the UK's — must now secede. Alaska, more than 2,000 miles from the contiguous U.S., and Hawaii, 2,400 miles away, follow suit. The states are no longer united.
