Yeah, it took a plague, real shit winter, famine, mass migration invasions and many civil wars. US has a long way to go to reach that point.
Historians might look at this point in time and say “Trump’s second presidency severely weakened the dollar. This had the knock on effects to make borrowing more expensive which made it harder to maintain their public expenses. Their issue was that the army always eats first, the people get the rest. No bread and games was ultimately the downfall.”
Dont down play what damage trump and musk will do like that. Its like trying to tell the people its better to be occupied by the nazi rather then have crazed conmie rusians ransack and rape their way through europe.
yes, and that’s my problem with these posts, they act as if america is currently in the process of the soviet collapse, problem is, we are literally nowhere near that stage of progression, if we even get there at all.
The collapse of the Soviet union arguably lasted thirty years. The roman empire collapsed over a couple hundred.
Half of the US government does not know whether they currently have a job. And that’s not an exaggeration, thousands on thousands of employees have been fired, their firing paused by a judge, and are currently awaiting whether or not their boss is going to listen to the president or the courts; all while these agencies have effectively been crippled and will not function practically at all for the next four years.
The US is speed running collapse, and we’re later in the game than you seem to want to admit. Scotus will pretty much universally support Trump over the law, as we have seen with recent decisions to overstep lower courts without a writ. It’s now down to individuals, and at that point empires collapse. It just seems slow because societal and economic inertia for 370 million people is ridiculous.
that’s what people keep telling me, but the worst thing to happen is DOGE making up numbers, and trump changing the head of the military (no martial law has been enforced, nothing interesting has happened)
There have been a literal million counter suits in regards to every single thing the trump admin has done, those people are still alive, they aren’t getting defenestrated yet.
I’m really trying to see it happening, but all i’m seeing is bad things happening, not the destruction of a country.
Respectfully, what the fuck are you talking about? People are already being rounded up and the camps are being built. All checks have been removed, the bus is screaming towards the cliff with no breaks but we haven’t technically gone over it so you’re arguing semantics?
It’s been just over a month with no sign of slowing down, on pace to beat Hitler’s record of 50-odd days. But you’re chilling because the judicial system (which has already proved toothless against Trump) has a bunch angry letters floating around…
When you remove bricks from random places on a structure, it’ll stand for a while, until too many are taken. Then it all comes apart at once. BRICS is looking like it could remove a cornerstone.
i mean, it’s really not like the collapse of the roman empire, because it uh, how do i put this one… Hasn’t collapsed yet?
yep, just like the romans, there’s a rich guy turning it from a republic to an empire
Rome wasn’t built in a day, nor did it collapse in a day.
progress from and to nothingness is nothing but persistent.
It doesn’t say the end of the collapse, it is like the collapse, the active part of it collapsing…

Shit, the Soviet Union just won the Cold War - idk about it having collapsed, more just changed shape.
Impending, incipient, in-progress.

yeah and it’s “looking like” and here we are on a post literally titled “At least it will be well documented for future historians”
this is so far removed from “well it’s a real possibility”
It’s only been a month.
They’ve done a lot already.
Things are actually happening and if you don’t see it you’re not looking, simple as.
