Conservative radio host Glenn Beck is stirring up fear in America, warning that Republican losses in 2020 would lead to the end to the American democratic experiment.

Beck, during an interview with Fox News’s Sean Hannity, said that a Donald Trump loss in 2020 would mean “we are officially at the end of the country as we know it.”

The conservative radio host known for his penchant for these anxious and dire predictions said that a loss for Mr Trump would see socialists, anarchists, and “Islamists” working to bring down Western democracy and culture.

“I said what was coming and the last few steps were that the radicals, the anarchists, the Islamists, the socialists would all gather together, they would not be working together, plotting together, but they would see the opportunity and they would all come together and work to destabilize Europe and America,” he said.

“And that is exactly what is happening,” the Blaze radio host said.

“If the Republicans don’t win in this next election, I think we are officially at the end of the country as we know it,” he continued. “We may not survive even if we win, but we definitely don’t if the Republicans lose with Donald Trump.”

Beck has not always been a diehard fan of the president’s, and vocally questioned in 2015 why conservatives in media like Hannity and others supported Mr Trump.

While he questioned the appeal then, he has since then fallen in line, and has worn the president’s signature “Make America Great Again” hat during recordings of his show.

He now says he will vote for the president in 2020, and has called his accomplishments in the White House “remarkable”.
