> enabled by having a somewhat functioning democracy, courts, cops, civic culture Grab the popcorn for ten years until US divorces. States don't get along anymore, and Feds are out of control. Democracy - when do I get to vote on the current two war fronts? Courts - long history of corruption, particularly against minorities. No lawyer in local courts and you lose. Feds have ridiculous rate of plea bargains. Cops - and govts have broad immunity against lawsuits to hold them accountable. Defund the FBI was relevant for the last five decades, and they keep spying on Americans because we allow it. Culture - free to choose what you ingest.
