It would be nice to see the collapse discussed in real-time, but also have something to reference in the future as significant turning points.
Probably keeptrack@lemmy.world ?
Edited to make the name linkable. Also, I guess it’s nice for you. But it fucking sucks for many of us.
Edit 2: added alternate link out of curiosity.
I’m directly affected by Trump, but I think the decline started decades ago. We’re just at the hoverbike stage now.
Thanks, subbed! This is focused on Trump though, and I don’t think the decline started with or ends with his presence.
I’m making a personal list. It’s so fucking long already…
Is there one discussing organizing resistance?
Yeah, it’s ov-- Removed by mod.
You taking about the collapse of democracy in the US, or the disolution US as a nation state? Because I definitely don’t think the later is happening any time soon.
Trump is threatening shutting down FEMA just to fuck with California. I wouldn’t be surprised if a few states start to talk about what the point of the union is.
They’ve got a big military, civil war two isn’t going anywhere.
It’s more subtle than that though. The Federal government can only call out the army in very targeted ways, and states already only obey federal laws that come with funding.
The official union won’t disolve easily, but many of the practical benefits of the union may erode quickly.
The supreme court probably won’t stop being the highest in the land, but executive orders and federal laws not backed by military action could quickly lose their current influence.
