Many respondents believe the US economy is already in dire straits, the poll found

More than four in 10 Americans believe the country is heading toward a complete economic meltdown within the next decade, according to a new poll.

The survey, released by YouGov on Wednesday, shows Americans are more worried about the economy than potential threats to the democratic system or the prospect of civil war.

42% of respondents said it is very or somewhat likely that there will be “a total economic collapse” in the next 10 years, while a smaller share, 38%, described this outcome as unlikely.

Financial anxiety ran much higher among Democrats, 53% of whom feared an economic breakdown, compared with just 28% of Republicans.

      Same as what happened when the USSR collapsed. The nukes ended up in what is now Belarus, Kazakhstan, Ukraine and Russia. Ukraine gave theirs up, they regret that now.

      Those fucking Magas can have their very own landlocked country. And do whatever TF they want in it. They can have their white straight Christian nationalist gilead. They just won’t be able to be the world police, kidnap heads of state, constantly punch down by embargoing struggling Latin American countries, start world wars or tank the world economy on the whims of an 80 year old demented reality show host anymore. The US needs to break apart and the sooner that happens - the better.
