CocoaNuts posted:And the terrifying part about someone trying to follow in Trump's footsteps is that the next autocrat is likely to be more intelligent than Trump. If that moron can command almost half of the votes for president, then the country will find itself in REAL trouble when someone who's even more calculated and convincing comes along. That's one scenario I could see; a competent autocrat takes charge. As violence builds up in an increasingly polarized and policed country, local power becomes more important. Company towns make a re-emergence, this time with PMCs. The federal government manages commerce to the extent necessary for With the decentralization of warfare, conflicts would be small, asymmetrical, and often via proxy. Drone warfare, cyber attacks, sabotage. And lots of petty stuff. (I'm imagining the online multiplayer games of this future; reds vs. blues everywhere. And you thought Horde v. Alliance was bad.) Or maybe this is all bullshit. What's the most boring, mundane, banal way that the country's divisions would fall out/be handled?
