With the stark division between left/right (Democrats/Republicans, progressives/conservatives, whatever you want to call it) is the “United” States over? I might be pessimistic, but it seems that the disconnect between the citizens is too great to fix. I don’t think I’m alone in thinking this, but what are other opinions?
There’s an even worse possible outcome: A civil war that culminates in one side bringing out the nukes.
Now, that one’s rather unlikely but it still pretty much the worst possible option.
