It will happen gradually, then suddenly. I suspect there's a lot more discontent with the country than people are recognizing. I'd be curious to hear peoples' honest opinion on the maintaining the union, because I do think that a large number of Americans from both political parties are increasingly considering a break up to be the only real solution. Climate change is a substantial omission here: forest fires and droughts in the west, heat waves/cold snaps in the south, increasing floods and hurricanes in the south east. Those are drastically changing the population landscape of the country. Then there's the whole change with SALT deductions. This was a lot more insidious than a lot of people credit it with being. The long-term effects are hard to predict. We are going to see a repeat of 2020 in 2024. Except this time, it will probably be successful. Will the next president continue trade wars against allies? Successfully withdraw from NATO? Again make military aid contingent upon corruption? Actively target "left wing" people with laws that allow them to be arrested, robbed, and have their children taken away? I think this article undersells how incredibly precarious our democracy is right now. I genuinely feel like I'll see the end of the USA in my lifetime. I just hope it is a peaceful dissolution.
