In the developed world, the only countries that have experienced anything similar are France in 1968 — when the government nearly collapsed amidst riots — and Italy during the "Years of Lead," roughly 15 years of deadly political violence. — PolitiTweet.org

First, we have to appreciate what's happening. The United States is in the throes of "pernicious polarization" — a term from @jlynnmccoy that refers to the division of society into hostile social camps. This isn't normal. In fact, what's happening in the US is *unprecedented.* https://t.co/eXKHSl60sB — PolitiTweet.org

Most of the examples come from the developing world, weaker and newer democracies. The track record isn't promising: countries that experience "pernicious polarization" tend to collapse into authoritarianism https://t.co/kxPElRox4y https://t.co/213aSr6uw7 — PolitiTweet.org
