Idealism is the privilege of elites. Maslow's pyramid puts the majority of people into survival mode or comfort, and the US has been boiling the frog towards expanding the bottom of the pyramid for a long time. By the time people noticed that an open revolt (even so much as a work strike) would destroy their lives, it was too late. There are so few charismatic, moral and idealistic elites that the government could take care of them as soon as they threatened to become leaders of a real opposition. I don't believe there would be a civil war, and I don't believe there is a way back. The US will become a neofedual country, with a lucky few who have the means to move elsewhere. The best case scenario is for the rest of the world to isolate from the US, both economically and militarily.
I hope you're practicing rolling on your belly and wagging your tail for fascists.
I'm helping people resettle to Europe. We currently host a recent college grad until they finalize their job and housing arrangements, and I don't think they'll be the last one.
