I'd like to think this won't happen, but conditions are being set

Headline:

America Is Going to Be Targeted for a Massive Terrorist Attack...Will You Be Ready?

It happened in Israel, and it happened in Moscow, and it’s going to happen here in America – again, and exponentially worse. The jihadis’ merciless war against the West – the Muslim fanatics are not so finicky as we are about our distinctions between the Jewish state, Russia, and us, the Great Satan – did not end when the regime media started covering other things. We may have fled Afghanistan and Libya and largely pulled out of Iraq, but that war is still going on. It’s going to go on until we decisively win it. But unfortunately, our ruling class refuses to decisively win it. In fact, our ruling class actively undermines attempts to win it. And it refuses to prepare for what’s coming.

That leaves you to prepare, you the individual, you and your small community, you and your red state. There is no one else who’s going to help you. There will be a bloodbath here in America. It will dwarf what happened on 9/11, it’ll dwarf what happened in Israel, it will be Moscow times 1000, and you’re going to be caught in the middle of it. 

You have to make the decision to be ready for yourself, for your community, and perhaps for your state if you live in one that’s not run by leftist idiots. The enemy is not just coming; it  is probably already here. Even Christopher Wray thinks so, and you know what it takes to get his attention away from arresting people taking selfies in the Rotunda or praying at abortion clinics. Our border has been pried wide open. There’s nothing to stop them from coming in.

Our ruling class refuses to acknowledge this and refuses to act. Instead, it actively subverts attempts to stop the jihad. It won’t shut our border. It opposes Israel’s plan to go in to the last infestation of Hamas and blow up its tunnel complexes. It won’t work effectively with the Russians to fight jihadis even though we share that enemy despite our other conflicts. Instead, it Norm McDonalds the situation, fearing that the most horrible consequence of thousands of Americans being murdered by Muslim fanatics is that people might start not liking Muslims.

[ ... ]

The bottom line is our elite’s incompetence, fecklessness, and utter moral illiteracy are going to bring a brutal terrorist attack upon America that will shake us to our core. It’s not what I want to predict, it’s what I – and many others – must predict.

A lot of the above is echoed in Schlichter's book The Attack (reviewed here). It's not the most imaginative work, and it definitely panders to the rightie's reptilian brain.* But since the US has been attacked on a grand scale a few times in its history (e.g., Pearl Harbor, 9/11), is another attack beyond the real of possibility? I think not. This doesn't mean I plan to go full-on prepper mode, but I don't see a problem with doing my due diligence and preparing at least somewhat for what I might call extreme contingencies. Even without the threat of a possible Islamist attack, the US is basically a social powder keg right now, what with a major election happening late this year. Whatever social fabric is left, holding the culture together, is frayed to the point of near-total failure. We may have already passed the point of no return, and I honestly have trouble seeing now the nation can come back from its current level of polarization, Balkanization, and fracture. It could well be that we have lost, and we are lost: we just haven't come to terms with that yet.

*But I'd advise lefties not to get into the whole "They're fearmongering!" game, given how much the left also fearmongers, scaring people into masking up, taking vaccines, and seeing white supremacy and transphobia under every rug and in every dark corner despite how utterly marginalized such a worldview actually is.
