As the US Empire continues to decay, and neither party is capable of rescuing it, support for abandoning the system altogether and adopting a new one will rise.

I would have thought you were right, but we're eyebrow deep in this shit. The human capacity for ignoring a problem in favor of remaining comfortable has shaken my faith in humanity. I hope you're right.

I feel like so many people aren't necessarily ignorant to the problems, we just don't know what to do about it. I keep seeing posts suggesting Americans are supposed to be uprising but by doing exactly what? I don't want to be defeatist, but I legit don't know what the plan is supposed to be. Voting doesn't seem to be working, and apparently it's going to be even less effective soon.

Americans on average are far better off than is necessary for people to risk trying to overthrow their government. Most of them still have a place to sleep and food to eat. There’s no guarantee that will remain the case indefinitely.

Water boils when you keep heating it. Quantity changes into quality.
