Of course you don’t understand! I’ve lived here my whole life and am well versed in our political system. Ignorant foreigner!
I bet you see us as comparable in size to a European country. We’re at the scale of the EU. California has the population of Canada. Texas is more populous than Australia. You can drive 1000 kilometers and not leave your state. Our military dwarfs everyone else’s combined, and the entire world couldn’t mount a successful invasion if our overseas military got snapped from existence.
We have a lot of checks in place. That’s why Trump fell in the first place. Congress won on January 6th in 2021 because Trump didn’t have the military. This time, he’ll purge the military and every other federal office for the next four years. By then, he’ll have corrupted everything too much for elections to matter.
This great nation will probably break apart in the next few decades, despite how well our military is set up to not fracture. It’ll take a while for the military to disentangle enough for that to happen. Until then, there will be no civil war, only anarchy and fascism. Maybe everyone will get tired of fighting and we’ll hold a constitutional congress, but I doubt it’ll hold together after that.
Just remember for where you live: It can happen anywhere. Never let the rich get too strong. Social Democracy is as far right as liberalism can sustainably go.
