It's going to be barbarism in the USA, isn't it? (hexbear.net)

Just thinking today based on the recent news of well, the past 6-months, that we're headed in a pretty dire direction. We're not even one year into Trump and things have already accelerated to the point we are at today. The only silver lining I see here is that the usa has fucked off from abusing the global south and China has stepped in to steer the non-fascism aligned world in a good direction. Great, but I have a sinking feeling for the rest of us poor stuck in this shithole.

I think the redistricting fight happening between red and blue states could escalate to breakup. We saw some of the cracks appear during COVID with the regional pandemic response networks, this is another step towards disintegration of the so-called union.

Only if the Supreme Court shuts down CA's redistricting but allows Texas's. Which is possible.

There is one factor I consider strongly in favor of the Supreme Court not going that far (yet).

This whole charade of Trump breaking rules and getting away with it while the democrats point at the rulebook only works if both sides play their part.

If the democrats start breaking the rules right back at them it's a whole new game they aren't equipped to play. They might adapt, they're cockroaches, but it could be a bridge too far. I think both sides are banking on the other side bluffing. But they themselves are bluffing.

But again I could be totally wrong.
