A second American insurrection would likely be larger and more violent

Evidence

The Flag and the Cross leaves us with a dire but necessary warning. While it would be comforting to think of the insurrection at the Capitol as an isolated event that won’t be repeated in the near future, the data that Gorski and Perry compiled lead in a different direction. They conclude that not only is another violent power grab possible, but “A second eruption would likely be larger and more violent than the first. Large enough to bury American democracy for at least a generation.” And maybe longer. — Philip S. Gorski and Samuel L. Perry, The Flag and the Cross, 20
