I mean, the rate at which people are dying and becoming disabled due to covid can't be sustainable, can it? This country was running on fumes to begin with. Surely a country with an infamously terrible healthcare system, an economy that runs everything with as little margin for error as possible, and a government that has lost its ability to respond to any major disaster that can't be shot at cannot withstand this kind of catastrophe? What do you think things are going to look like five years from now?
My assumption for how it really starts is that sometime within the next couple decades some governor will push back against some federal mandate or instruction and find nothing there. Whoever the Dems trot out in 2028 will talk about how uncivil it is and the rule of law and then they will do nothing with the state apparatus in the interest of civility and every other governor will gradually realize they can do the same thing. And I don't think this'll be a governor of Florida or Texas or anything like that, I think it'll be somewhere like Oklahoma.
I think the opposite is possible.
A lib governor tries to (possibly legally) defy a right wing federal government and gets smashed by them. Bringing about an even more right wing and openly violent administration as the libs just whine about civility
