(with the technology now to re-enforce it, ie social media) and the long wave constitutional gaming of the nation by the Rethugs ie. minority dominance via federal, state and local electoral wins gained via systemic voter suppression and gerrymandering etc., the manipulation of the US Census, state governorships and statewide offices, state asemblies, the Electoral College, the Senate itself (soon 70% of the seats controlled by only 30% of the populace, a 30% far whiter, older, more reactionary, fundie, less educated, poorer, and far more racist that the other 70%), and now the state and federal judiciary systems up to and including the SCOTUS. Finally the insane levels of amortised (including future mandated transfer payments) debt at all levels that demand the US dollar be maintained as the global reserve currency via the global petroldollar matrix, which in terms demand global military empiric involvement, all so that the debts can be further increased.
