Where do you see the US in 2050 - Doom Posting aside

[Standardized Profile]

Star Wars depicting a fat Chinese girl making out with a black in order to corner the market in China.

She was a Vietnamese girl, which probably made it even less interesting for the few Chinese interested in gwailou space wars.

On Mr. Bones' Wild ride.

Turns out the only country with any survivors still in 2050 from the giant comet impact was the US. Not from technology or lucky geography, but because we were the only nation with enough morbidly obese to outlast the starvation times. In 2050 President Amberlynn, now a svelte 120 lbs, will lead the survivors to a new golden age as they rebuild and recolonize the world.

It's a ticking time bomb until red states fracture from the federal government. However, the establishment knows how to nudge us slowly off the cliff of no return without retaliation. It's just a matter of waking up enough people and voting in hard-liners who won't cuck out. I'm not accounting for any possible cultural revolutions that lead both blue and red back to a relative state of normal. Trust-busting corporations would be a start.

George Carlin had a bit about how we Americans prefer a slow dicking over everything right away.
Every few generations this place is a new animal. Our values have changed, not talking

Im not sure how Trust Busting would work out these days. Even if the Biggies (facebook, google, Microsoft, Disney?)
Where to be broken up, i feel like it would be In Name only. The little fractions would still act like a conglomerate and continue on business as usual.

As for a split, Personally I dont see it happening in my life time. At least not officially.
My guess would be counties or states ignoring federal level laws unofficially, never on paper. I think we're seeing that in some states already but nothing too big.
Its sad to think how many people think the best solution is to balkanize. Sounds like a shit show how ever you cut it.
Not sure how we all would think "Im an American' again, like ater 2001. But then again that lead to 2 pointless wars so..whatareyagonnado

Bottom of the pacific ocean. Not due to some gay shit like "global warming", just sheer Wrath of God

The global mega-corporations will step in to take advantage restore order. I'm going to get a job as a night janitor at whatever the real-world equivalent of Omni Consumer Products will be. Yeah, they'll probably test out their new military contract weapons on their employees, but from what I hear that's only the executives on the top floor. I plan to stay down in the sub-basement polishing the furnace bolts or something.

Somewhere close to where the UK is today, except with more of the Orwellian oversight coming from big tech as opposed to government.
