As we're watching Idiocracy unfold before our eyes? Nah, Fukayama might be right.

Trump would have been a fringe write-in candidate 30 years ago. Dude was endorsed by the KKK—repeatedly—and actually had to think about it. He's now the lead dog of one of two major political parties in this country because people find him charming. Collapse is closer than you think.

I reckon the destabilising affect of technology coupled with the de-industrialisation of capitalist democracies, corporate media monopolies has a lot more to do with it.

That's comparing apples to oranges. Kamala and Joe are not a threat to democracy.

Unfortunately they're not a threat to anything, they're just a holding space, they really need to be looking a tearing down the far right with the FBI as soon as possible.

That'd be a large part of it, sure, but only insomuch as it was the mechanism for the fulfillment of daily needs of the populace. The removal of daily struggle for basic requirements for a people bent on governing themselves due to their perpetual and relative wealth when compared to their global neighbors would eventually have this effect anyway because people no longer have a reason to think beyond their daily requirements to sustain their livelihood. Think late-period Imperial Rome when they couldn't even ****bothered about the Visigoths. Not that Rome was capitalistic, but same concept where people just no longer... care.

We're pretty much talking about the same thing.

Well, I do believe actually assassinating Trump would make matters far, far worse in this country. So it’s good he was not killed. I can understand people willing to say that, though, because the anger from both sides is off the charts altogether. So I cannot very well act surprised with any “wish he had not missed” reactions. If pressed, many likely won’t back down, but others would likely admit, “well, yeah, maybe I shouldn’t say such a thing”. So much anger, I’m not surprised by what people say in anger. On both sides.

We’re already in a cold civil war. For most of my life, politics was often described as “the art of compromise”. That’s long gone now, we are already engaged in a cold civil war. Prefer words to gunshots.

For sure. Incredible that it hasn't happened yet. Dems have been playing softball. The FBI should have arrested The Rapist on Jan 6.

I disagree. Trump dying of a heart attack or by any other manner would immediately give us a reset. It would give cultists who feel trapped an out. A gunman acting alone wouldn't set off riots or the like. There are those who would engage in conspiracy theories but I think things would become much more normal almost instantly.
