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 are three ways this could end for America, arranged from best to worst for Americans: An overthrow of MAGA followed by progressive rule to fix the underlying causes of this mess, the disintegration of the Union into several medium-sized states and unimpeded MAGA rule in the United States. All of these can be preceded by civil war or all sorts of sociopolitical turmoil, but one of them will happen within the next five years tops. Also, since nothing I've seen these past few months convinced me that Americans are capable of taking the reigns of power back from the fascists, what we're really looking at is either complete disintegration or Nazi Germany. My point being: I don't know if America will survive, but you better hope it doesn't.
