Concerning the latest foolishness in North Carolina, a reader predicts:
If this kind of nonsense continues and grows, I predict the USA will cease to exist as a 50 state country by the end of the century.
Much sooner, I should think – perhaps twenty years. We’ll break apart into chunks, several of which would become theocracies, or some variation of a democracy with only one permitted religion. Soon enough, the latter would fall to fighting among themselves over theological differences.
But I suspect none of our adversaries would bother to actually invade. They’d just keep us stirred up in our foolishness.
