I sort of expect most of the above too.  Thing is, most extreme partisans expect following the policies of their opposites results in the above disasters. By the nature of extreme partisanship, it is just about inevitable.  I don't expect the disasters will slow before a crisis sized regeneracy puts one group in unquestionable charge, before one culture becomes truly dominant, and then one set of solutions works.

I see a see saw. I anticipate we will continue to see each culture blaming the other until a full regeneracy is reached. Some variation of civil war is possible, but would be difficult so long as each culture can see the other messing up, the see saw continuing, resulting in their party becoming dominant.
