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

James is joined by Mick and Georgio to discuss the Sarajevo Safari documentary and establish context for the investigations of people who travelled to Sarajevo to kill people during the siege of the city.

War Tourism in the Siege of Sarajevo

Garrison and Lance from The Serfs discuss the online right’s attempt to weaponize the tragedy, misinformation about the shooter’s politics, and how the shooter's online footprint shows a growing obsession with other mass shooters.

Executive Disorder: Turning Point Halftime Show, Pam Bondi’s Epstein Hearing & ICE Detention of Liam Conejo Ramos

In the raging pile of slop that is social media, every once in a while you stumble across someone doing something genuinely amazing. That’s how Prop found Amanda Nelson, the creator behind Amanda’s Mild Takes, where she delivers comprehensive breakdowns of politics and history and artfully drags the trolls in her comment section while she’s at it. We had to get to know her.
 
In this episode, Amanda shares why she started making videos in the first place, what motivates her to clap back at haters, and what parallels she sees between the past and the current events happening in the US. She also offers her predictions for the upcoming midterm elections, and weighs in on who might throw their hat in the ring for president in 2028.
