In what appears to be our destiny which is rapidly becoming an Orwellian dystopian future, we're all going to be living in what had previously been a democratic society ruled by laws where justice prevails. The evolution into autocracy is going to be swifter than we could have ever imagined it happening in the last 240 years of our history.

People on the right are fully bought into the fantasy of a country with high borders, with no Muslim 'terrorist', with minority populations on the decline instead of rise, and the freedom to brandish guns to threaten your neighbor if his grass clippings get thrown on your driveway from his mower.

People on the left will abandon a country without rules, voices or purpose. Informed people will move out and abandon the hope of a true democratic republic ever reappearing in the next 100 years. The walls will be built by Canada and Mexico to keep white people from the US escaping persecution and threats of death out of their own countries which will continue to evolve, thrive and progress to the democratic place in governance where we once had pride in.
