"This is no longer just an election campaign - this is the first stage of a full-fledged Civil War."

One of the most important pre-election essays:
First Dugin notes the way things have been — consensus among US elites for nearly a century on:
-Globalism
-Liberalism
-Unipolarism
-Atlanticism
-American-centrism
All Democrat and GOP disputes happened within this framework.

Dugin says Trump was an exceptional phenomenon.
He attacked this century of elite consensus — and half the country went with him.
This polarized the whole country from top to bottom and showed the impossibility of overhauling policy via election, bringing everything to a head.

Dugin explains that it was not Trump who broke the US — he is merely a symptom that revealed that it has been broken for years.
Atlanticism reached a height of decadence. It created phantom enemies like ISIS, but this did not give it a true external Other to focus on.

Further events brought the claimed universalism of Western Civ into question:
-Russia and China did not collapse, did not adopt Democracy, but still grew.
-Other rogue states endured.
-Islamic Civilization matured on the world stage.
It was the beginning of multipolarity.

"Trump blew up America," says Dugin, shattering elite consensus and derailing Globalism.
Trump 2016 represented a no-confidence vote.
His talking points went beyond the allowed discourse, opening the door for American discourse to become a truer geopolitical discussion.

Dugin goes big. The outcome of the 2020 election will decide:
-architecture of the world order
-global geopolitics
-fate of Atlanticism
-fate of the Constitution
Lesser questions don't matter.
"The fate of the US is in many ways the fate of the entire modern world."

Dugin goes back to Mackinder — but flips the metaphor to the American continent.
The US is a Heartland sandwiched between two halves of a Sea Civilization.
Sea Peoples are rootless, without an identity or meaning beyond the elite project.
The Heartland is completely different.

Dugin points out the electoral maps very nearly coincide with the division between the Land and Sea Civilizations.
He says these are the front lines of a continental geopolitical war.

Interestingly, Dugin calls the central Heartland the home of the "real Native Americans" — meaning "Americans with roots, no matter what — white or non-white, Protestant or Catholic." The people who have been abandoned, betrayed, forgotten and humiliated by the coastal elites.
Dugin defines the real "Old America" of the Heartland:
"In this old America, a person can have any beliefs, say and think whatever he wants." It's the "essence of the American Dream."
"In this old America, a person can have any beliefs, say and think whatever he wants." It's the "essence of the American Dream."
Dugin says the Heartland has it's own "Native American ideology." It's about machine guns, but also metaphysical freedom and dignity.
Dugin says these two Americas are locked in an "irreconcilable struggle" for the presidency.
The Democrats do not plan to recognize a Trump victory. A Biden victory will mean repression against political opponents.
It's the first act of a civil war that determines everything.
