Whoever wins .... the country will fight about the result for the next four years and completely obscure any reasonable debate or conversation about anything of importance like inflation, wealth inequality, war, the military industrial complex or creeping fascism.

If America doesn't get its act together during this election ... it's just taking another step towards becoming a failed state and will break apart within the next decade or two. But it won't be a war or anything too dramatic ... it will just look and sound like a never ending slapfest between shouting children and crying babies who threaten each other but never actually do anything except leave the room with all their toys.
