Understood, and I'm quite thankful to be a citizen of this country, by sheer dumb luck of my consciousness evolving inside of a body within its borders. I'm keenly aware of some 3rd world atrocities thanks to 4chan, LiveLeak, & co., but yes, after growing up in the 90's and 00's, this does feel like a regression towards increasing global tension to my tender ass.

What kinds of upheaval are we looking at if we're dealt a moderate-to-severe economic downturn (which seems unavoidable)? A few months ago, I would've guessed that only then would Trump's base abandon him, but now, I think they'd just find a way to blame Obama.
