re: Where is the US of A going? What is the next step?

How many of you believe your states are genuinely willing to tell the federal government to piss up a rope?

You’re seeing fractures at the local level with communities wanting to leave their dysfunctional parent governments.

I think we are headed in that direction on a larger level but we aren’t there yet. I think the friction between globalization and independence will increase and the opposing sides will harden. I also think enormous government power will be brought to bear that will result in greater authoritarianism and abuse that will further fuel the fire of separatism.

The powerful role of corporatism will also be a factor. Small business will be pushed to the side of separatism.

A key watershed moment will be when a political leader who openly questions remaining in the US is elected governor.
