OH, you are quite right and fortunately more and more of us are coming to this conclusion. Our institutions are pretty much all corrupt; media, education, politics, legal system, the voting process, you name it. Those who think this thing is going to turn around through a vote are dreaming. Some people are going to have to drop, maybe large numbers, to turn this around.
Since we’re discussing this (hypothetical) scenario, I was thinking that most of the damage will be occurring in the cities. Obviously this isn’t a North-South thing, and the geography of the respective opponents is complicated.
But it isn’t out of the question that cities will be the flashpoints, and some will burn. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, since major cities are blue, and as I’ve previously said (tongue in cheek), we are in need of major urban renewal anyways.
