SUPPOSE IT HAPPENED
Prior to Dec 1991, no one would have imagined the USSR would break up into states, independent from mother Russia.
Given today's right wing political movements -- probably to go on for a few decades -- can you see something similar happening in Western Europe? Think Brexit. How about in the "United States" of America?
With +/- 30% of the people for Bernie (the left) & +/- 30% of the people for Trump (the right), my math sez that 60% of the population is unhappy which could produce another American revolution of some kind.
Whomever is in power at the Federal level hasn't really represented us for decades. It's a self centered, self-sufficient, self perpetuating body that exists for its own sake.
Now it's happening at the state level (Think Michigan & Wisconsin). Geremandering, the usual Florida fiasco, North Carolina's sinkhole, distrust of most institutions, etc. leave most citizens feeling pretty raw, wondering where their government has gone.
Where do Republicans go after Trump? Their party is now totally cockeyed &, will for a long time, associated with the excesses of the Trump era.
Consider the Paris riots or Chicago in 1968. What will happen on our streets in our cities when the recession or national bankruptcy is upon us? Will Trump manage to run the whole country into the ground as he did with so many of his own businesses?
Has anyone considered the possibility of some sort of disolution of the "United States" of America?
Too far fetched you say? Think way ahead. Consider how twisted we've become just in the last two years. Do you think everything will calm down or heat up? I know where my mind is going. I'm curous about yours.
