perhaps a generation or two or even more

We have history as a guide here.

When the Roman Empire collapsed, the dark ages, with its multitude of tiny authoritarian tribal states quickly followed. It took hundreds of years for societies to finally recover. And, the map of Europe was drastically changed. There is no reason to assume it would be any different today in this country.

Actually that's an advantage we have.

You were saying ...

I would agree. I think history is an excellent indicator and even without the example of history... just knowing how people are, this is exactly the way it would go.

I don't think this country would ever recover from that sort of thing and we would have several different countries, eventually -- in the place of the United States, each with its own laws (eventually) and it's own legislature and police and military... that's the way it would eventually go.

This -- if it happens -- will end the United States for good. It will never come back from that.
