Not disagreeing. Actually, the Republican party these days is capable of gridlocking itself. I've never seen such a high level of dysfunction -- enough so that I suspect we are living in some transition period, although what we are transitioning to I am uncertain. I don't think the current Republican party is stable.

The US is militarily inassailable, it's not going to fall in the same way that, eg, the polish sejm did with the liberum veto. sure, it can crumble economically etc but that's a lot slower process and gives plenty of time to materialize the spin.
