Biden Has the Right Idea About the Freedom Caucus

13. Yes, but I was only referring to an actual true derailment, where the government was blown apart

The Civil War era is (so far) the only time the Union of the States was rent asunder.

An example that could cause a second cleavage:

Dog help the nation if the RW SCOTUS grants foetal personhood. It could lead to another dissolution of the Union of the States if certain infection points go truly pear shaped.

If the SCOTUS rules that foetal personhood exists (thus outlawing all or mostly all abortions nationwide), they set up a nightmare scenario that could end in the Union of the States ripping itself apart again.

Many of the Blue States will ignore their ruling.

You then will have the POTUS (regardless of Dem or Rethug) forced to make a choice:

1. The POTUS will perhaps try to bring the Blue States to heel, perhaps by force if necessary. If the POTUS (a Rethug is far more likely to do this) uses force to try and make the Blue States comply, you may well have kinetic violence and/or multiple real, large secession movements spring to life in those Blue States that are openly defying the SCOTUS foetal personhood ruling.

OR

2. If the POTUS ignores the Blue States openly defying the SCOTUS ruling, then the Red States may well start to ignore SCOTUS rulings THEY disagree with. The same chaos potentially ensues at that point.
