Obviously it's impossible to predict it accurately, but we can make some educated guesses about what it will involve. No need to be rigorous, just throw some silly ideas out there.

    PMC Karen libs take the helm on massive mutual aid networks as the federal government breaks down/loses all public services and become a total violence machine for fascists. This greatly introduces much needed supplies from wealthier areas to the rest of the nation, but limits the amount of POC who can or feel comfortable to receive such aid. This would lead to alternative mutual aid groups springing up with a similar shape but catering more to these communities, which would be in alliance but quietly despise each other. Large queer sub-networks would emerge, with varying levels of alliance or hatred from their over-network depending on region, but usually well-connected between networks. In the chudosphere, group after group after group would just keep springing up and then splintering, then reforming under a better warlord. Some wealthier ones (think middle management/local business tyrant who supports voting rights) would eventually flip and become defensive forces for the karen aid networks, usually because that's their sister or wife helming those networks and it would be too awkward to try to kill them. This would allow armed escorts so that supplies could move through the country, and some limited country land could be held, but the countryside would ultimately fall mostly under chud or law-enforcement control. It will continue this way for at least a decade until some spirited orator and organizer rises up and starts something in one of the big cities. I'm thinking takes over some foreign ships in New York and uses them to secure shipping lanes or something like that. However that goes, the three or four factions now present will consolidate into 2: a more radicalized left and a more organized right. How this goes depends mostly on who can keep their troops together long enough to hold major cities AND farmland long enough to outproduce their foes.
