Is the U.S. Empire in Jeopardy?

As a European it's sad to see the decline of US soft power. Even the movie industry is in deep trouble.

It seems to be one of the most polarised countries in the world. The gap between the haves and have nots just gets larger and larger.

I would not choose to live there and I'm glad to get home after I visit.

I think if there's another four years of Trump and then a Trump-like figure after him, that will be a very strong signal that the U.S. is in an unreconcilable state. A massive number of Americans nolonger value the fundamentals that democracy works on. And the decline from being on top and what that fall costs will make them very dangerous.

Canada exists for no other reason than the game theory understanding that we all win through cooperation. That imperialism is dead. But we're physcially powerless if the U.S. is in such economic and social dire straits that a zealot convinces them that they need to start annexing parts of Canada. World condemnation will occur but nobody will try anything stop it.
