    I would normally agree. Four years ago I would have laughed if someone had said it.

    Now, I just don’t know. So much has happened that I thought for sure couldn’t possibly happen. Not much would surprise anymore.

      It’s a fair sentiment to have. Things certainly have been ramping up, but I don’t think it would go as far as something that breaks the illusion of democracy unless there’s a great depression level event and the desperation cannot be contained. It’s a possibility, I just don’t think it’s likely at this point.
