well in 2024, and do so via various nefarious means (especially POTUS) that hold up, then you can put a fork in the US as we know it. Especially if the POTUS is somehow the old bloated crazed Trump and there are no voter rights/protection bills passed in 2022. Also, if Breyer fails to retire before the 2022 midterms, and we lose the Senate then, there is no chance we will fill that seat (if he does retire or dies in 2023 and beyond) before 2025, and that 2025 date requires us to both win back the Senate and hold the POTUS in the 2024 elections. A Rethug-controlled Senate will likely never again approve a Dem POTUS-nominated SCOTUS potential Justice, unless it is a RWer they sign off on.

Depends on how much of our military would cleave off into an independent force.
