(67,088 posts)rest of the world sailed by the US, which is already happening. The US had a good run of it after WWII, but blew it by embracing Reaganism. Now, the American Taliban wants to destroy what is left. Most, would start leaving the US, much as many saner people now avoid certain areas.
I think the US will eventually regionalize with some areas being just fly-over with knuckle draggers roaming below. The US has no capture of intelligence and great discoveries.
I think many Americans, especially the foolish Tea Baggers, fail to realize is many of the advancements in the world did not come from the US. And, great advancements do come from a few people, the rest are just followers, and all of the great achievers did not come from the US! If, the US takes a harder right turn, the US will find itself a dust bowl of humanity.
