Many countries have political civil wars with extreme polarization usually eventually leading to decline, chaos, combat whether internationally or internally in the streets or fought with dastardly political and propaganda weapons. Each case is quite different. In modern history: Lebanon, Egypt, Algeria, Turkey, Iraq, Afghanistan, Chile, Venezuela, Bolivia, Soviet Union, Israel, France. Foreign powers are usually involved exacerbating the tensions, covertly assisting one faction or another, sometimes actually arming the belligerents, other times using false flags to further inflame.
The still preeminent but declining world superpower, the United States of America, is now joining history.
This November the menu has been displayed with state elections. Next November the appetizers will be served with the Trump Republican Party at minimum paralyzing the Congress taking control of the House, or even taking control of the Congress with the Senate as well.
Then comes the main meal in three November from now with the most dangerously deranged strongman triumphantly, and revengefully, returning to the White House.
History is not predetermined. It continues to be both made and then slantingly recorded by humans. So much unforeseen is also ahead. But right now, this is the course America is on, a country that is a great danger to itself, and even a greater danger to much of the world.
