It is hard for people to deal with all of these issues. It is easier to talk about the latest entertainment, the latest scandal, or the presidential candidates.

Gail, thank you for the work you put into this.

IMO while no one knows what exactly will happen and how it plays out, it is not too difficult to see that it will develop in quite unique ways in the US because there are stresses and fault lines that are not present collectively to the same degree and with the same attitude anywhere else.
It will also vary from place to place within the US.

As long as everyone has their personal or ideological horse in the race no one wants to hear tactical truths so to quite some extent everyone has to solve their own problems.

I think that despite the fault lines the national leadership will try very hard to hold the nation together, while it will be best for individual groups to control their own regions.

If it gets bad enough slow enough you might see something resembling Kosovo or Iraq.
