What we have is a wildly dysfunctional federal government, that is coming apart at the seams because it turns out whatever stability we used to have was actually just held together with the scotch tape of good intentions and gentlemanly agreements rather than actual rules. All three branches are entirely captured by oligarchs that have no reverence for democracy, the constitution, or the people of this nation. The media has no incentive to educate the populace and the mob is slobbering with manufactured fear, driving them to shoot themselves in the dick over and over and over again. All of this is sitting on top of the stumbling momentum of unfathomable military capacity that renders the rest of the world impotent to stand in opposition. There’s no consistent rule of law, and the emerging feudal class is building bunkers.
