America is a tinderbox.
A smouldering, snarling, hyper-partisan, violent tinderbox.
And decisions taken in the next few days and weeks will determine whether that tinderbox explodes or not – now or some place down the road.
I've lived and worked in the United States on and off for 15 years.
It's a country I've grown to love as a second home.
But right now, I've never been more worried for its future.
Three events in the past year have led to this breaking point: the coronavirus pandemic, George Floyd's killing, and Donald Trump's refusal to accept the result of the 2020 Election.
Americans are now fearful, for both their health and prosperity, mournful for all those lost to COVID-19, resentful and distrusting of their Government, and, increasingly, at dangerously enraged loggerheads with each other.
The appalling riots at the US Capitol last week represented the moment all the toxic tribalism fuelled by Trump erupted in a direct attack on the very heart of US democracy.
The more we learn of what went on that day, the worst it gets.
A police officer dragged into a frenzied mob where he was murdered.
A Nazi sympathiser with 'Camp Auschwitz' emblazoned on his T-shirt.
Armed thugs chanting 'HANG MIKE PENCE!' and building gallows and nooses to do just that.

McCarthyite??
Call it what it IS, Nanzism.
Stalinist
It’s Piers Morgan, but he’s not wrong. Interesting that the international media is expressing concern. I figured they’d be on Biden’s side.
just another far leftist propaganda rag
certainly PDJT should be held accountable... for anything criminal he did
but... and this is the rub... all of these attack articles fail to identify a single wrongdoing by President Trump, not even jaywalking across an empty cowpath
so I sure wish they’d call off their attack dogs, they’re rabid liars all!
When are the DemonRats and RINOs going to be held to account for the coup.
Bla-bla-bla
Held to account for what?
Be specific, Karen.
Sorry, Piers, but McCarthy did nothing wrong.
Trump held to account for what, exactly?
Its most annoying when the media adopt stupid political slogans
piers isn’t worried about the usa though
thats a bunch of crap
if anything, piers is worried about how it might affect piers
This is nothing like the terror going on in Canada.
Held to account for what? Boris Johnson needs to be held to account for acting like a dictator in poor suffering lock down England, where the cops are acting quite oppressive..
It’s visible to the British media, which is good exposure for our cause. What’s about to happen in the US is going to make the world take pause.
There must be bodies everywhere.
That’s our only choices?
How about team bama surveillance on team Trump..the fake dossier...not to mention years of fake news ..FBI witch hunt...bogus impeachment..
Account for what?
Held to account? Yes,or course...when he does something wrong he should be. But I’m still waiting.
why do you think that? Him stepping aside is not some right wing conspiracy.
yeah but brits live in a far worse police/nanny state than we do, they’re full bore socialist
