Ok, so does this kick off WW3 or are other nations just going to roll over and allow this to happen?

How the hell is this even a plausible timeline we’re living in?

From my standpoint as an American citizen of at least 3 generations, I don't think balkanization will be happen here, just because the divisions aren't neatly aligned as of 2020.

Cities tend to be Democrat, rural areas tend to be Republican -- regardless of state. It's not like the Civil War where it was more easily divided.

What's more likely to happen is a full on economic collapse soon. Where things go from there is anyone's guess -- but I don't see balkanization as a part of it. If Trump and team declare martial law and start doing even more human atrocities it might be the spark for WW3. Does that happen before China attacks Taiwan and start WW3?

Regardless of what happens, this is going to be ugly and a whole lot of people are going to die.

Last year, the United States imported *$438.9 billion* worth of Chinese goods, according to the office of the U.S. Trade Representative. China was the United States' third biggest source of imported goods after the European Union and Mexico.

I’m guessing most of that is electronics? I feel like China is the biggest though for that reason alone. Things are about to get insanely expensive here.

Everyone hop in, we’re going back to 1950!

Trump said. “I’d like to include them in the group of people to get them out of the country. But you’ll have to be looking at the laws.”

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

🤨

Nope...I can only handle one Western country going down the batshit stupidity rabbit hole at a time.

"No basis in logic"

No shit, this whole administration has no basis in logic. Just look at Project 2025 and the progress they've made on it in a little over 2 months.

Isn’t that what peoples vote means?

Assuming the elections here weren't tampered with, yes. But in this case, it's pretty obvious that there was clearly shit going on to produce the election results that Trump wanted.

Also, the elections here are pretty much a choice between a shit sandwich and a turd sandwich because of the two-party system that has been the standard for decades. 3rd party candidates are basically shunned and seen as a wasted vote. Because of this, a big majority of the voting population just doesn't vote because they feel like their voice isn't heard anyways.

Then take into account that critical thinking wasn't ever taught in schools, tribalism, propaganda, and people just plain trying to survive and put food on their table unless they are wealthy thanks to "trickle down economics".

Pretty obvious how we got here, the house is on fire, the garage is torched, and both neighbors' houses are about to go up in flames. The neighbors are outside screaming at the house that's on fire because the people inside are the firefighters and too busy trying eat instead of escaping and putting out the fire.

Literally disappearing people off the street

Didn't the U.S. fight a war against a country and its leader who did the same shit? I was never very proud to be an American because this country has done some fucked up shit since 1776. But this is downright terrifying to me as someone who is disabled and considered a parasite by Elon because if they aren't stopped after this then it's game over for any "non-white" people, LGBTQ+, and poor people in general to be disappeared.

This may be why they want Greenland so bad 🤔

Meanwhile, in the U.S. I'm sitting here wondering if we'll even have a flu shot available for next winter, let alone a new vaccine that can protect from Covid and the common cold.

So are they committing mass genocide in Gaza to clear the way for Trump to buy it or is that no longer a thing? I can't keep up with this shit anymore. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Also, this is disgusting.
