The US will have to go to war to keep down unrest. Whether Trump makes good on Canada / Greenland / Poland, the world will have to form a coalition against us, and it’s likely China will take the lead.
There will be Chinese bombers over Washington just as there were Russian and American bombers over Berlin. Not that we’ll be around to enjoy it, and those that remain will suffer as collaborators (whether they were or not).
We really don’t want to let it get there. But then we really didn’t want it to get here, and we knew in the early aughts with George W. Bush’s administration this is where we were headed if someone didn’t chance course. Obama, who promised to change course, did not.
In the late middle ages, nobility would wear make up, false moles, or adopt the verbal inflections of the monarch as a part of courtier parlance.
If there was a way to encourage Washington culture to get everyone to wear orange makeup, we totally should.
Not that our federal government isn’t already a parody of itself in countless other ways.
