The United States is at a crossroads in its history. The escalating level of
political violence raises serious red flags about the erosion of democratic
norms and the growing distrust of peaceful political processes. Were risk
analysts noticing these same trends anywhere else in the world, the approaching
storm would be clear and alarms would be raised by a range of international
governmental and nongovernmental voices. While the United States is not a
failed or failing state, it is a fragile and flailing one; closer to breakdown
than a breakthrough. The risk of mass violence is progressively accumulating in
a rising tide, and resilience is rapidly receding.
