Research by University of Chicago professor Robert Pape indicates that demographic shifts toward a 49% white minority by 2045 increase the risk of political violence.

  • Professor Robert Pape, who has studied political violence for 30 years, warns the midterms could be the "Most Violent Election of Our Lifetime," a concern he discussed on Chris Williamson's YouTube Channel.
  • Demographic shifts, including the increasing Latino population, are ending the era of white elite rule, leaving both Democrats and Republicans feeling threatened and unwilling to accept close election results.
  • This crisis reaches a "Focal Point" on Jan. 3, when control of the House is decided, potentially triggering Prolonged Violent Opposition, terrorist attacks, and attempts to seize voting machines.
  • Amid attempts to rig the midterms, President Trump continues gerrymandering and aggressive deportation tactics while claiming the process is rigged, prompting Democratic leaders to war-game responses.
  • Pro-Democracy attorney Marc Elias advises citizens to volunteer at polls and participate in peaceful demonstrations scheduled for Oct. to maintain legitimacy during this historic crisis.
