Subscribe to get this delivered to your inbox . Getty / The Atlantic America’s political schisms are so profound that we risk a repeat of the 1850s, when the country was on the precipice of the Civil War. Two Atlantic writers warn that the 2020s could mark another dangerous decade for the American experiment. This time, the split is between those who embrace the country’s diverse future and those who fear it. Should Donald Trump win, America will enter an 1850s-style death spiral. On the left and right, “extremism will spread, mutate into new forms, and gradually become entrenched in more areas of American life,” Anne Applebaum argues. A Joe Biden victory wouldn't necessarily soothe the nation's wounds. Especially if the GOP deepens “its reliance on the most racially resentful white voters,” Ronald Brownstein write...

With Nov. 3 just a few days away, unreliable and false information around the U.S. election process is swirling. A recent report from media watchdog group NewsGuard found that misinformation related to election security and voting has been “flourishing” online, and experts expect that could intensify further in the run-up to Election Day. There are, however, several steps you can take to protect yourself and your community against false and misleading information. First, a quick rundown of terms. Misinformation means false information that people share without realizing it’s false. That “can be like your mom shares something with you out of love because she’s worried about you,” but that information is still wrong, says Aimee Rinehart, U.S. deputy director of First Draft News , a nonprofit that works to fight mis- and disinformation online. Disinformation, on the other hand, is false information that’s intentionally spread to mislead people, such as the falsehoods sprea...

Subscribe to get this delivered to your inbox . THE ATLANTIC 1. This isn’t 2016. Democrats fear a repeat of last cycle’s polling mistakes. Our staff writer Derek Thompson offers five reasons why this election is different. 2. Here’s what liberals don’t understand about pro-Trump Latinos. “For liberal pundits, activists, and pollsters to focus on new Democratic turnout among Latinos misses the persuasiveness of the Republican pitch to Latino voters—and the staying power of their support,” Christian Paz, an assistant editor on our politics team, writes. 3. Many white men love Donald Trump’s coronavirus response. And more than 80 percent of Republicans approve. Why? The simplest explanation “is that Trump voters like Trump,” Olga Khazan reports. 4. Meanwhile, the president’s “America First” doctrine left America alone. “In s...

Fox News Breaking News Alert WATCH: Joe Biden's brother Jim refuses to answer questions about family’s business dealings 10/28/20 6:16 PM

The Supreme Court on Wednesday handed Democrats major victories in election legal battles in two critical swing states, letting extended deadlines for mail-in ballots in North Carolina and Pennsylvania remain in place for now. The Supreme Court declined to expedite a decision on Pennsylvania’s extended deadline for receiving mail-in ballots, virtually guaranteeing it will remain in place through the election, and, in a separate ruling, declined to halt an appeals court ruling that kept the North Carolina deadline in place. Justices Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch and Clarence Thomas dissented in both of the rulings. The Court’s newest justice, Amy Coney Barrett, who was confirmed on Monday, did not participate because she did not have adequate time to review the filings, according to the court’s public information officer. As a result of the rulings, mail-in ballots postmarked by Election Day can be received through Nov. 6th in Pennsylvania and Nov. 12 in North Carolina, instea...
