    Probably, at some point. Wealth disparity is wrecking a huge swathe of the population’s way of life. They’re restless and want change.

    Politically, divisiveness is continually reaching new heights. Politicians, republicans for the most part, are more reactionary and less productive. They are now fueling the fear and anger of their constituents and it won’t end well.

      The US right now looks like Germany just before they put the Nazi party in power.

      Lots of FUD, angry constituents, a faschism-adjacent party on the ballots, and lots of hate.

      Too many people are too comfortable to ever get off their asses to do anything more than bitch about it online. It’s a very small percentage of people that actually go to rallies and half of those people are middle class white people that have never known real hardship; the kind of people that are surprised when they get pepper sprayed while trying to break into the capitol. There won’t be a civil war, but we’re definitely on the brink of single party rule.

      We’re like a bunch of frogs sitting in water that is being slowly brought to a boil, but except for water it’s fascism and half the country is okay with it because they think they are “saving the children.” The other half think they can stop it. I think that both sides might be delusional.

        It’s hard to do more when we’re working ourselves to death just to afford basic necessities. That tipping point gets closer and closer though.
