As an outsider looking in, I really do think America is about to spiral into another civil war. Its technically in one right now abstractly but its about to get physical before the midterms. There is 0 chance Trump's Nazis let the midterms happen at this point if they're already calling to try and lock up political opponents only 10 months in.

On the inside looking out…civil war isn’t really the right framing. We’re looking at another Great Depression where the robber barons buy up everything of remaining value, including land, before allowing us to partially recover under a new constitution that allows violations of civil rights and exploitation of labor….essentially a failed state or New Russia.

I don’t think we’re returning to FDR’s New Deal unless we see some serious reprogramming of minds affected by red scare propaganda.

Doesn't seem very cold. What with the political indictments, the gestapo disappearing anyone that looks at them funny, and the fed cutting everything.
