In the worst case the future of the US may be to descend ever further into totalitarianism until our country resembles more East Germany than any democracy. I fear this may be very real as Obama could easily become a dictator.

Rather than a Tahir Square type uprising what I see is many states in all but secession from the union.... basically ignoring the dictates of an increasingly powerful federal government. Some states like New York will become so repressive with both federal and state regulations that large parts of their population will leave for less restrictive states. California will financially collapse under the weight of its profligate spending and businesses leaving the state in droves to avoid high taxes. Texas will become the economic powerhouse with low taxes and independence from meddling Washington bureaucrats. The US will become balkanized much like the former Yugoslavia...nominally a single state, but with regions that are almost autonomous.

One thing not considered is that if the United States gets near to the point of collapse and subsequent revolt, the new ruling class may well be the Red Chinese, not a new caste of American conservatives. Power abhors a vacuum, and the Chinese will be in the position to fill the vacuum left by American disintegration.
