the reasonfor USA collapse derives from that which brought it together in the first place

energy input — -coal oil and gas — -is in rapid depletion. The nation is borrowing like crazy in denial of that.

they formed the stitches that made the nation whole — -they are the stitches that are unravelling. The USA is too big to hold itself together without that energy input

The opportunists, the rising fascists, the jesusfreaks, and the rest are grabbing what they can, while they can, disbelieving of what they see happening around them, promising growth and/or salvation in return for allegiance — -so gullible fools vote for whatever they think is right for them at the time
