Tucker Carlson invited writer Mark Halperin connected his amusement to foretell what the post-election aboriginal could look similar for America and was horrified by what helium heard.

Halperin, an writer of respective books astir American elections and presently a newsman for Newsmax, told Carlson it whitethorn effect successful a intelligence catastrophe crossed the state if Donald Trump beats Kamala Harris.

'I deliberation it volition beryllium the origin of the top intelligence wellness situation successful the past of the country,' helium said, adding that liberals would question their 'connection to the nation' and endure 'trauma successful the workplace.'

Carlson, flabbergasted, responded: 'Are you being serious?'

Halperin confirmed helium was '100% serious' earlier making adjacent much dire predictions of a 2nd Trump term.

'I deliberation there’ll beryllium alcoholism, breached marriages... yeah. They deliberation he’s the worst idiosyncratic imaginable to beryllium president,' helium said.

The erstwhile ABC News newsman said Democrats could tummy Trump having won owed to 'a fluke' successful 2016 but that Trump winning just and quadrate would ruin their psyches.

He past predicted unit everyplace from protests to average, mundane interactions betwixt Americans.  

'I deliberation there’ll beryllium workplace fights, fights astatine kids' day parties, I deliberation determination volition beryllium protests that volition crook violent. I anticipation they don’t, but I deliberation determination volition beryllium some,' Halperin said.

Carlson past wondered however conservatives mightiness grip Harris defeating Trump successful November. 

'I deliberation the antagonistic interaction of her winning connected the science of the losers volition not beryllium arsenic great, but I don’t deliberation it’ll beryllium nothing. I deliberation there’ll beryllium each sorts of things -- lawfare, replacing Biden with her aft Trump had spent millions trying to bushed Biden, the media putting its afloat assemblage connected the scale,' helium said.

He added that it volition astir apt 'be up to Trump's attitude' and Democrats' willingness to beryllium transparent however his MAGA basal respond to a hypothetical Harris victory.  

'If each that happens, and Kamala Harris decides to beryllium gracious successful the transition, successful her inaugural address, and successful her legislative agenda, I deliberation we could beryllium successful a decent place,' helium said.

Carlson pivoted to another, perchance realistic, possibility: what if America picks Kamala Harris and Democrats to instrumentality implicit the House of Representatives but besides a Republican Senate?  

'All of MAGA, and those unhappy with her winning, volition enactment their chips successful the Senate and accidental it’s up to the Senate to support her from turning this into a far-left country,' helium theorized. 

'That goes to nominations, I deliberation it volition beryllium precise hard for her to nominate anyone acceptable to the near that volition beryllium confirmed by the Senate... You can't beryllium acting forever, it is precise constricted --what you tin bash arsenic an acting secretary.'

Halperin says helium doesn't deliberation there's going to beryllium a civilian warfare successful absorption to the predetermination but isn't dismissive of the possibility.

'I anticipation the governors each person large bipartisan plans for minimizing this, for policing peaceful protests, and not allowing them to escalate portion not trampling connected the First Amendment. I deliberation we could person unit careless of who wins. I deliberation some sides are susceptible of that,' helium said. 

Halperin isn't the archetypal idiosyncratic to suggest determination could beryllium unit aft the election. 

Earlier this month, President Joe Biden warned of the imaginable that the aftermath of the predetermination could beryllium violent, erstwhile asked if it would beryllium escaped and fair, arsenic good arsenic peaceful. 

Trump's 'enemy within' enactment tin hint itself to Sen. Joseph McCarthy during the reddish scare. McCarthy invoked an unidentified humanities fig and said, 'When a large ideology is destroyed, it volition not beryllium from enemies from without, but alternatively due to the fact that of enemies from within.'

Abraham Lincoln spoke successful his Lyceum code successful 1838 astir interior threats to the republic a procreation earlier the Civil War, during a play of increasing mob violence. 'At what constituent past is the attack of information to beryllium expected? I answer, if it ever scope us, it indispensable outpouring up amongst us. It cannot travel from abroad. If demolition beryllium our lot, we indispensable ourselves beryllium its writer and finisher. As a federation of freemen, we indispensable unrecorded done each time, oregon dice by suicide.'

He was asked whether helium was assured the predetermination would beryllium escaped and just and whether it would beryllium peaceful.

Biden said those were 'two abstracted questions.' 

'I’m assured it volition beryllium escaped and fair. I don't cognize whether it'll beryllium peaceful,' helium responded.
