   I have a question for anyone willing to answer seriously and thoughtfully...Where do you see the US, near term, as far as social and political stability?

     @Adam_Cadmon1 I seriously see balkanization and civil war. The states are increasingly divided and the federal government isn’t seemingly interested in the needs of the people.

     @Adam_Cadmon1 @goodthinking The problem with this assumption that the US Military will squash any civil war is believing that they won’t start it. While I would like to believe leadership would have clearer heads but as I am aware and many others these guys have divided loyalties. It would just take any number of stand offs between entire states to escalate a situation. Even getting the wrong man in the executive branch could trigger military instability.

     @goodthinking @robertnorlyn I'm sorry guys, I just don't see a civil war. Now, that's not to say the most extreme of the fascists won't try something but it won't last because it can't last. Whatever it is that they want, they don't want it bad enough to carry out a sustained offensive against the US military.

     @robertnorlyn @Adam_Cadmon1 I agree with this, but it has to be the stupidest expression of civil war possible, far trashier than we are imagining.
