***America Has Entered a Pre-Revolutionary Moment!***

Today’s shooting wasn’t the cause of our divide, it was the symptom we’ve been warned about for years...

The moment I saw the news out of Washington today, I felt something shift. Not because a shooting happened, America sees violence every day, but because of where it happened, who was targeted, and how quickly the country shrugged and moved on. This wasn’t a random crime. It was a signal that the divide we’ve been ignoring has finally erupted into something we can no longer pretend is normal.

Lawlessness Isn’t Destiny, but This Is What the Edge Looks Like

Today’s shooting of National Guard troops in Washington, D.C. was not just another crime statistic. It was not a random incident. And it was not just another day in America’s increasingly chaotic news cycle.

What happened today is a symptom, a flashing red warning light of a nation that has crossed from political disagreement into something far more volatile.

Let me say this clearly at the outset:
I am not calling for violence. I am not advocating for upheaval. I am pointing out what I see — and what many of us feel — about where this country is headed if we continue pretending this divide isn’t real.

For 20 years I’ve warned that America was drifting toward a breaking point. Today’s shooting confirms what I hoped I’d never have to say out loud:

The United States has entered a pre-revolutionary moment — not because people want it, but because our leaders refuse to admit it.

The truth is brutally simple: America now has two political realities with almost no shared space between them.

You’re either:

• for strong law enforcement, or you’re not

• for keeping 25 million illegal immigrants in the country, or you’re not

• for a smaller government that respects personal responsibility, or for a massive welfare-driven bureaucracy

• for personal liberty and accountability, or for expanding federal control over every corner of American life

These aren’t “policy differences.”
They’re moral worldviews. And moral worldviews don’t get massaged into compromise by politicians who barely understand the country they’re governing.

This is why Congress can’t function.
This is why half the country believes the other half is corrupt, dangerous, or outright evil.
This is why so many Americans feel we are no longer one nation, but two countries temporarily sharing geography.

And this is why moments like today hit with such force.

The shooting in Washington does not mean a revolution has begun, but it does mean the country is entering a highly unstable phase.

Political violence rarely arrives as a dramatic, unified uprising.

It emerges through isolated sparks, individual acts that reflect a deeper fracture beneath them.
The Boston Tea Party was “just” a few dozen colonists throwing tea into a harbor.
History often looks small at the beginning.

Today’s violence is not coordinated.
It is not organized.
But it is rooted in the same national psychology that precedes every period of serious internal conflict:

• citizens losing trust in institutions

• each side believing the other is a threat to the country’s survival

• political leaders who refuse to speak honestly or lead responsibly

• the public concluding that the system cannot solve the problems tearing it apart

This is how nations slide into instability — not because people choose it, but because no one in power steps up to prevent it.

Our leaders are failing at the most basic responsibility they have: naming the reality in front of them.

Instead of standing before the American people and saying:

“Yes, we are dangerously divided. Yes, political violence is rising. Yes, this is a national emergency.”

…our political class pretends this is business as usual.

They issue statements.
They blame the other side.
They lawyer their way around the truth.

They treat a national fracture like a public-relations problem.

And while they do, the ground under the country continues to shift.

This moment is not about whether you’re Democrat or Republican. It’s about whether we can still function as one nation.

If we want to stop the slide into something darker, we must first tell the truth about where we are:

• Polarization is no longer political, it’s existential.

• The middle ground has collapsed on issue after issue.

• Violence, if left unaddressed, becomes normalized.

• And a country that can’t agree on reality cannot govern itself peacefully.

Again, I’m not calling for war.
I’m not calling for conflict.
I’m saying that ignoring the danger is how violence becomes inevitable.

The nation is at an inflection point, and the shooting today is part of a pattern we can’t wish away.

We’re in a dangerous chapter, and it will likely get worse before it gets better, unless our leaders finally find the courage to confront what’s in front of them.

America is not doomed.
But America is not magically immune to the laws of human behavior, societal breakdown, or historical pattern.

We’ve reached the stage where hoping things “calm down” is not a strategy, it’s a fantasy.

Whether we turn this around or tear further apart depends on how honestly we face the truth of this moment.

And on whether enough people, including our so-called leaders, have the courage to speak up before the window closes.

Wish us all luck. We’re going to need it.
