Joe Biden & Donald Trump seem as likely as any to be American Gorby & Yeltsin. Contradictions are rising fast.

Blessed timeline: supreme court pulls a funny one -> Republicans retaliate -> Ballet strikes snowball -> no clear president -> two electoral systems & officials -> inter & intra state foreign policies -> dissolution of the federal government

I'd almost be optimistic if not for class power having strong interest in the preservation of the state. Capital, military, + other minor powers in the US have many opportunities to intervene and the left is too disorganized to exploit.
