20. They have been programmed via decades of nonlinear warfare and reflexive control.

I have posted on it since I joined DU. Millions of the RW are so likely going to become involved in at least a scattered site kinetic civil war within 15 to 20 years max. It is extraordinarily likely that it will prove to be impossible to put the genie back into the bottle. Multiple parts of the US Constitution are a potential suicide pact, especially some that are cherished, like the 1st Amendment, which is far too absolutist when it comes to protecting openly seditious speech that IS intended as a call to arms.

A suicidal mistake that will be written in the post mortem will be the utter normalcy bias of so many who mistakenly thought that the inertia of previous American post civil war conflict containment would hold this time. They still think that these multi-decade reflexive control-driven ruptures are just a stage that will be overcome by some mythical 'adults in the room' being able to spank the rebellious QMAGAt 'children' back into a pattern of 'correct, logical behaviour' (and lock away the worst of the worst) and thus restore a bi-partisan dialectical consensus, that whilst still massively adversarial, continues to operate within a shared construct of agreed upon constraints. That shite is not happening.
