I don't agree with this assessment on the USA, the biggest problems we will face might be earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes and other natural disasters or pandemics from foreign countries. Also the thorny issue of immigration and refugees need to be sorted out badly! The leaders, even though are on two different camps; are still capable and willing to stick it out like the citizenry.

Otherwise the political environment is the least of any worries. The country is doing far better than many others out there and more power to it! Stay centered and strong!

I don't agree with it 100% either - the concerns you brought up are forefront (in the mindset of daily life), but there is certainly a building of tension on both political sides at this point (probably on purpose).

It appears (to me) that if the dems lose, there will be violence - and if they win, there will be violence... - the only question is how much :\ If they lose, I don't even know if the party will necessarily survive in the form people know it these days - it will either fracture or change its structure to try and compensate.

As for the video, I was primarily concerned with the goings-on in South America - but also the cited poll, which showed "democrat" confidence dropping from 84 to 39%.

Meh, I don't agree with your assessment as much either. It sounds biased towards political bipartisanship, which really isn't as big as it is made out to be.

When trump won, there was a little violence but nothing ground shaking; it will be a lot of the same as long as other physical issues aren't exacerbated. A lot of people that are actually important and have their head on straight, aren't always concerned about politics either. Its what is beautiful about US, people think about other stuff and try to live other lives away from puppeteers.

Time will tell, I guess.

Time does tend to make ruin of things, but as of right now; good and strong as long as you can stay away from the hype.
