It Could Happen Here

It Could Happen Here started as an exploration of the possibility of a new civil war.

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.
