It Could Happen Here started as an exploration of the possibility of a new civil war. Now a daily show, it's evolved into a chronicle of collapse as it happens, and an exploration of how we might build a better future. Every day Robert Evans, Garrison Davis, Mia Wong, and James Stout take you on a jaunty walk through the burning ruins of the old world and towards a better one that lays just on the horizon.

It Could Happen Here

The gang discuss the government shutdown, War Department plans to deploy troops to US cities, ICE raids in Chicago, new border wall construction, and a National Security Presidential Memo targeting political violence indicators like “anti-capitalism, anti-christianity, and extremism on migration, race, and gender.”
