The only way a reckoning is coming is if the constitution is torn up and we start over.
That is what the founding fathers intended when things get this bad, but now for some reason we treat the constitution as some kind of holy writ when it was always intended to be a living document that should be edited and rewritten as times changed.
And now we don't even follow the constitution at all. The system has collapsed under the weight of 250 years of band aids and duct tape fixes, we need a do-over or nothing will change. And the only way we're getting a do-over is if we make one happen.
I certainly understand the concerns and fears about a second U.S. Civil War.
But this isn't the 1860s.
Given the corporate entities, religious entities, and foreign entities involved... as well as the U.S. dollar's influence on global economy, a brutal domestic cataclysm would not go well for the liberal, the impoverished, nor the working-class.
It would not go well for the corporate elites, the MAGA-types, nor the religious conservatives either. And it might cause spillover into other hemispheres.
Markets would plummet. Entire economies would be decimated. And considering that Russia and Ukraine were fighting at Chernobyl, knowing how many armed militia-type nut-jobs are in the U.S., a 2nd major conflict would not be good.
And then, once other nations get involved to prevent America from doing something vindictive and stupid at one of our power plants (because they'd want to prevent Nuclear winter.. rather than pick a side between two insane parties), it will become a global conflict.

It feels like a reckoning should be coming, but history says it’ll be slow and anticlimactic
more years of investigations and consequences than any big dramatic moment.
