    I think the world is starting to wake up that maybe we don’t actually need America, at all. People will go where the jobs and economy is. America might not be that soon enough.

      I think that’s Putin’s plan with Trump. I’m not sure they have something on him more than he’s just a complete moron that will destabilize the USA from inside.

      I was thinking one of the best things that could come out of this is if the US split into multiple countries

        That’s exactly what Russia has wanted since the cold war “ended”. That said, I honestly don’t know how we heal from this. A third of the country is bat shit crazy, and the sane among us are never going to join in their fascism. I think Balkanization is, for better or worse, in our future.

        Assuming we don’t all blow ourselves up first.

          No shit. Americans empowered ultranationalist to balkanize the USSR. Have a taste of your own medecine.

        Unfortunately the division this time is more rural/urban which would make the logistics of that nearly impossible. If you offered a time for people to move it’d also be vastly lopsided, not to mention things like house prices would crater in some places while skyrocketing in others.

          I didn’t necessarily mean best for Americans, any way you put it they’re cooked.

          But ya, logistically it’s extremely unlikely, that being said California is already talking about secession. So if it did happen it’d likely be certain states (California, Texas, etc.) And not all of them along state lines.

          People don’t usually think about the long term effects of decisions like this when making them, too.

      All it took was a fifth columnist takeover and both sides of my family and my wife’s being disconnected from their roots for more than an entire generation… 🥳

        Those of us who voted for Kamala are victims that unfortunately will have to go down alongside everyone else. Fascist dictatorships have no place in civilized society.

        Unhappily married couple, so focused on avoiding misery for a few months of divorce proceedings, decide instead to live miserable every day for the next 30 years.

          Dude this was me. It’s been over two years because my ex can’t seem to make decisions.

          I moved out last April. If you can figure something out, which I really hope you can, it’s so much better.

      BRICS is already eating their lunch. The US is floundering badly.
