The US Civil War is a better example than either WW1 or WW2 with respect to the balkanization of America, and the nuclear threat never went away. ;)

It depends on the continent you live on.
I could be wrong but OP's language suggested that the most immediate worst possible time would be the US election in two days and its resulting aftermath, and its connection to disinformation.

Perhaps I am a little biased as I've been eyeball-deep in weeding through election-focused disinformation and working with people to expose these tactics the past few months and everything looks like a nail to me right now.
