That’s where I actually think we are. With the combination of a dumbed-down (and morally degenerate) populace weened on socialist propaganda and cultural rot, along with a massive influx of foreigners who were never steeped in an American heritage of liberty, the country has developed a comfort and acceptance of governmental lawlessness, and are even transitioning into a taste for dictatorial “strongman” type leadership, akin to third-world nations.
Do we opt for a king and a theocracy? If so, who should be the American royal family? The Bushes? Clintons? Rockefellers? What should the American established religion be, and how do we change the 1st Amendment to allow it?
Do we opt for a military dictatorship? Do we simply scrap the Constitution, salute smartly and accept our role as global hegemon in the Roman tradition?
Do we dissolve the Union and let the states form their own nations or merge with existing nations such as Mexico, Canada, Russia and China?
None of this is comfortable for me. But if people really believe that humans cannot govern themselves, then what options are left?
