Shout out to It Could Happen Here and Robert Evans 

The original series is a little harder to find now that they have a daily news show. But it's from 2019 and is a 10 episode exploration of what a US civil war would look like from the perspective of a conflict journalist who studies extremist groups.

I finally got around to listening to it last fall before the election. I went from feeling like "Yeah, we're probably really fucked no matter what happens in the next few years" to "Jesus Christ, we are so completely and irretrievably fucked." Then the election results came in and I had to move all my timelines up by about 10 years.

Oh I listened in 2019 and live in Portland and got to follow and participate in the summer of fun 2020. Robert was an essential daily update along with other locals. Garrison is now the co-host/host of It Could Happen Here and they were just some twitch kid downtown giving a shit and streaming the protests and talking to people.
