"I'm scared. What if Joe Biden wins the election?"
Lee Snover is 50 and a staunch Republican.
The thought that her President, Donald Trump, the man she admires so much, might lose the November 3rd election, the thought shakes her.
SPIEGEL reporter Alexandra Rojkov visited Northampton County, a small county in the "swing state" of Pennsylvania, a good two weeks before the US election.
Northampton has almost always chosen the "right" candidate for the past 100 years.
Barack Obama won here twelve years ago, eight years ago also, and Donald Trump in 2016.
Statistically speaking, anyone who wins Northampton County has the best chance of becoming US President.
Lee Snover has been campaigning for Republicans for 25 years.
She speaks of "the most important choice of all time".
The country is at a crossroads.
She is convinced that if the majority opts for Biden, it would be the end of the USA.
Snover doesn't understand the new America anymore.
"These millennials are always on the internet. I still did something with my hands."
She's not the only Republican deeply insecure.
Some in Northampton County are arming because they anticipate unrest if Trump doesn't win the election.
In an interview with Juan Moreno, reporter Rojkov describes in the current issue of "Eight Billion" an unsettled place, a symbol of a deeply divided country.
