It's already happening. It's not like something that occurs overnight. America is terminal, and nothing is going to change it.

I think authoritarianism is a big risk but I think massive, Argentinian style inflation is what will sink the empire. Particularly if the dollar stops becoming the World's reserve currency.
Things will definitely suck a lot more, we might be planting turnip gardens, but society has endured those things before.
Those conditions could absolutely trigger a collapse though.

Kind of. I think that both parties are racing towards their extreme poles so quickly that in another decade or so, the majority of Americans won’t “identify” with either major party
we just had perhaps the most moderate republican president in the history of our country and both sides are racing towards the poles?
The same ones “hoping that we buck the trend” are the same ones screaming about any politician willing to do so.

There is always a threat of that. History has proven it.

This isn’t the PT, so I’ll just say that I find the statements made in this post to be… interesting

Nowhere near. You need to calm down.

We don’t have to get into the weeds, but Trump was, by every measure, a democrat 20 years ago. It’s just that the left has moved so far left that his moderate policies are viewed as extreme right wing by the progressive left.

It's what happens when you vote for a fricking idiot of a president.

Agreed. Trump was basically Bill Clinton 25 years later.

It’s not that serious.
Until the lights go out and people don’t have food. I don’t think that’s gonna happen unless an asteroid or solar flare decide to show up.

We’ve been in one since the stolen election
Congratulations on finally waking up

That may be true but 20 years ago you didn't hàve Republicàns seriously advocating the dissolution of NATO either. Both parties have extreme factions wielding disproportionate influence and it does the country a disservice. The poliboard types have been allowed to redefine the GOP into something else entirely and what used to be mainstream Republicanism is now called RINO.
And yes, wrong board for this topic but the board it should be on has been taken over by window lickers.

Rice and beans are cheap to stockpile and high velocity lead has outpaced inflation as an investment so it doesn’t hurt to be prepared
