You want to talk politics...fine...but I am not interested in the current choice of two "pensioners".
What I am interested is:
1. Is this the decline era for the US "empire"?
2. If no...nothing. If yes, then would that decline be more like the decline of the British Empire (BE) or more like the decline and fall of Rome?
3. If like BE, then...nothing. If like the decline and fall of Rome, then we could be up for a few decades to few centuries of unpleasantness (Dark Ages II).
For the history buffs, it is thought that Justinian plaque (most likely caused by plaque bacteria- Yersinia pestis) finished the Roman empire.
Maybe something rhymes here.
What's your take?
Both the Roman and British empires were true empires, that is, they conquered other territories and subjugated them.
The US is not doing that, their power is more of an economic/social/cultural influence spiced with a strong military power. There is no conquered foreign territory that can collapse and/or break of into independence, it will just be a case of less foreign influence with US proper still intact.
