The US -- The Future - Civil War or Authoritarian Rule?
Druvius comments on Oct 13, 2021:
I have no idea how this is going to play out, but it's the worst crisis since the years before the Civil War. I expect a lot of right wing violence before it's over, and the republic as we know it may not survive. A military junta is not out of the realm of possibility either.

@rainmanjr Specific predictions are basically never on the money, as essentially every major human made catastrophe in history tells us. None of them were ever predicted in detail.

@TimeOutForMe The Taliban came to power in the first place because most Afghans preferred them to the corrupt, violent, misogynistic, fundamentalist warlords who had torn Afghanistan apart and turned it into a free rape zone after the USSR pulled out. The very same warlords the US reinstalled in power after they bombed the Taliban back into the hills. The Taliban enjoy far more popular support than the US imposed puppet regime ever did.
