@pintohoo; scenarios linked to where Trump is taking the GOP, the US Presidency and has already taken SCOTUS are mileage markers for the death of the USA as we've known it for more than a century and including:
. Governance by executive decree - similar to North Korea.
. Desertion of free market economics - massive tariff walls, trade bans, trade restrictions, ....
. Guaranteeing US corporations such as Boeing, PwC, Glencore and Ford to operate even freer of public accountability and transparency.
. Further widening of the US's already massive gap between 'haves' and 'battlers who work for tips'.
. Erosion of government revenue base - debt may quadruple within a Trump second term of tax cuts for $Billionaires and corporate monopolies.
. Winding back human rights including access to abortions, press freedom, whistle-blowers and protests other than by far right wing extremists.
. Exacerbating the USA's religious tensions: Irreligious, Mormons, Catholics, Pentecostals, Muslims, Hindus, ...
. Global cooperation via structures including the United Nations - already badly damaged by Trump v1 and by Biden's Administration.
The disintegration of the USA into a failed state appears unavoidable, even if Trump doesn't get to be POTUS for a second time.
