  • The federal gov imploding (especially if Federal Reserve is under control) can be many decades away, even several internal coups away.

    Imo an open revolt in USA happens only when it becomes beyond clear the voting rights are taken over. And even then far from unanimous.

    Atm neither “side” is there yet - the gov doesn’t have the infrastructure/environment to make a possible revolt manageable (hungry & overworked populous is a factor too), and the people don’t have the resolve to accept where, how fast, how premeditated, and how successfully the gov is moving.

    (Oh, and a bunch of rich states seceding imho leads to immediate war. I don’t really see a peacefully way of that happening regardless of the public view. The federal border & poor state subsidies would destabilise the whole gov.)




  • It’s really hard to comprehend from an outside perspective that returning to the state of affairs with all the people being killed annually by cops or imprisoned for trivial/made-up stuff is the much preferred choice to the current state.
    Just awful.

    And it’s an still there, but now there is ICE too, foreign concentration camps multiplied/got outsourced, and military is being tested.

    In a country that wanted change, but got the opposite - just a lot more of the same(ish) problems. And they did that by voting.

    I’m not sure any legal mechanism (and there are a bunch afaik) can successfully inhibit the current administration to either just carry on or print ballots with only their names on it. Or just declare a winner without even counting the votes.

    A hungry nation fighting for food is in a bad position for a general strike.
