Trump, again, is more a symptom than a cause.

Looking at some videos tonight, searching on various science key words, and I see a never ending stream if idiocy. For example, the latest David Icke junk, in which his supporters still take in marks.

Trump happened because our society is full of people who can’t handle reality.

So they do whatever they need to in order to create a pretend world.

One might argue that it all started with the Civil War. Unlike post-WWII Germany, there really was to serious attempt at “denazify” the South, and ultimately the 30-or-so% of America which has always been solidly racist, white, xenophobic and ignorant, have managed to get in the driver’s seat — where Father Coughlin, Huey Long, Wallace, Faubus, etc, all failed, Trump has finally succeeded.

The stakes today are as great as ever, and there’s no doubt that this “southern” ideology will fail, just as much as the Communist or the Nazi ideologies failed. Even without WWII, historians believe that Hitler would ultimately have proved catastrophic for Germany, and that in fact the rush to war was in part driven by the desire to avoid a predictable collapse.

In any event, whether relatively peaceful (à la Gorbachev) or apocalyptic, this current iteration of America is condemned to fail and fall apart in one way or another. I don’t see any other credible scenario that would reboot to an earlier stage. (Again, Gorbachev’s example comes to mind.)

The only question left is, can you manage a soft landing transition, or stage another civil war?
