I'm beginning to think we should relabel ourselves FUSA--the Former United States of America. Just as in Yugoslavia after Tito's death, we are coming apart at the seams, and descending into a nightmare of fascism, brutality, and internecine war of attrition. However, unlike the Civil War, this will not be an organized conflict of regional armies (like North vs South) but more a chaotic war of attrition between urban and rural areas in every state, and between Red states and Blue states, it will mostly be what it already is--a media-driven propaganda war, interspersed with sporadic surges of mob violence--until Trump or a Trump wannabe like Ron DeSantis or Tucker Carlson or Josh Hawley or (God Help Us!) Donny Jr. seize power after a fraudulent election and institute his wet dream of a fascist. theocratic reign of terror...However, the accelerating climate crisis will pull the rug out from under their fever dreams of total domination.
