There's no easy way out of this quagmire. A deep horrible somewhat tribal division has spread in North American society around a pile of issues and it's become pivoted around a supposed "left"-right axis but it's really about a whole pile of other issues and unresolveable grievances. Prosperity is declining in western countries, and distribution of wealth is becoming drastically unequal. And neither liberal or conservative ideological centres (the only two allowed in American politics) have any kind of solution.
The same infection is here in Canada as well, but less intense. As usual we're just 10 years behind whatever trend happens there.
It is not normal for a hard right/far right party to get 72 million quid funding from crypto-billionaires within 3 days while that same party is under police investigation for breaking laws on electoral funding/donations.
That and the more... interesting folks over the pond seem determined to interfere with our politics as well.
The instability/uncertainty in the US is because of their historical (and current) weight on events spreading everywhere.
It's easy to poke fun at the US while downplaying our issues but in the long run, *unwise*.
That system is bound for collapse, I don’t care what any model says it just cannot be sustained as a country that ostensibly cares about laws and the Constitution. It’s a joke all the way down.
And to add on to that, Armitage himself has been a provocateur for "soft secession" (which is basically an attempt at trying to instigate a nullification crisis 2.0).
This is why Trump's fight with canada is doomed: Trying to destabilize a top-10 country when your own country doesnt break the top 20.
