I tend to think we are in the closing stage of the crisis. The big show (or showdown) is the next act. I however have no idea whether that will be a war with another nation, a war of sorts within our nation, or an economic crisis. Whatever it is, I see the era of Trump as the last act in the crisis. Shit gonna get worse before it gets better.
The worst part is: extreme rightwing nationalism is getting to be a worldwide phenomenon. The center stopped holding sometime ago. That's certainly bad, in and of itself, but it may be a precursor to a more universal solution. Brexit shows all the signs of going poorly, Trump is now irritating even many of the faithful. The Orbans, Dutertes of the world are slowly dragging their countries into messes they can't remedy using national assets. So a good solid economic collapse could pull all this down without violence. Any ideas on how that might happen?
