The biggest threat to the US comes from within. Internal political divisions can one day split the Union again. If that happens, another major civil conflict can erupt. Fed vs States.

The market must be free, but not so free that the urbanized peasants actually become more than meek consumers. Won't somebody think of the 1%?

Lamar is the single greatest threat to the free world. He abuses his first amendment rights to turn cities into burned husks and a research team sent to investigate Lamar was found in the Mojave desert burned to a crisp. There recording equipment didn't pick up much except one dark, eldritch line. "Maybe if you got rid of that old yee yee ass haircut you'd get some bitches on ya dick."

Kedrians abandon piracy and become a modernized country, founded by reformed criminals who forsook piracy and the citizens are descended from pirates, and still retain some of their heritage such as speech, accent, politics.

I'd wager most folks on either side of the spectrum are your normal, sane people you encounter in your daily life. The nutjobs are just a lot more vocal.

I am sure “normals” are out there. I haven’t run into any yet. The trumpets (some qaanon) I have had “discussions” are a rather odd bunch. They make claims and when you start asking questions over specifics; it’s almost like their brain hit a checksum error and they reset and start over on the same claims. At times I am not sure the truth matters to them anymore.
*I am a master proofreader after I click Submit.
* There is actually a War on Christmas. But Christmas started it, with it's unparalleled aggression against the Thanksgiving Holiday, and now Christmas has seized much Lebensraum in November, and are pushing into October. The rest of us seek to repel these invaders, and push them back to the status quo ante bellum Black Friday border. -Trotskylvania
