4. The U.S. is a failed state
Tue Apr 21, 2020, 11:55 PM

We have a 240 y/o Constitution that was never meant to last this long and is finally giving out.

We have a neo-Confederate party that has gamed said Constitution and exploited its gaps and design flaws and limitations to impose minority rule and keep a criminal at the helm of our gov't.

We have states fending for themselves and conducting trade outside of the federal system to keep their people alive.

And we have a predator class of business masterminds and finance vampires, given free rein by said neo-Confederate party, that will be more than happy for your family to die for their stock portfolios.

The Union isn't going to hold together much longer at this rate. The question is, what will the breakup look like?
