"The Breaking of Nations" is Harry Turtledove's contribution[1] to the shared universe work, And the Last Trump Shall Sound, published by CAEZIK SF & Fantasy on September 22, 2020.

IMPORTANT NOTICE TO ALL DECENT HUMANS
On November 7, 2020 in OTL, Democrats Joe Biden and Kamala Harris were proclaimed to be elected as President of the United States and Vice President, defeating the Republican ticket of Donald Trump and Mike Pence. This event probably makes "The Breaking of Nations" a retroactive alternate history.
However, Trump is still dangerous until his term expires on January 21, 2021. All decent Americans should guard against any dirty tricks he may pull!
