In the year 2019 Donald Trump announced to the nation he had a major health condition and would not be seeking re-election. His presidency was controversial throughout the entire 4 years, and encouraged the rise of a number of firebrand, and some would say radical voices on all sides. The election of 2018 marked a rise in minor political parties gaining power and support but after Trump’s health announcement it became even more of a trend. The Democrats and Republicans combined would hold slightly over 50% of voter registration, with the other half of the country joining new parties.
The democratic national convention was bombed killing 14 and wounding 82. While officially US intelligence services credited ISIS, many held suspicious that domestic terrorists were responsible. The trust and unity of the American people was eroding quickly.
Democratic Candidate David Adams would win the presidential election with 24% of the popular vote, the Republican candidate took 27% but lost in the electoral college. The other parties would receive 7 to 10% each of the vote each many incredibly popular in their home states but failing to make a national impact. Many congress members belonging to these minor parties refused to verify the results of the election leading to months of deadlock and a pushing back of the inauguration of the President till April.
Growth of the economy had remained stagnant throughout this period, but breathed a sigh of relief in May and started to grow once again. In June however congress was in a budgetary standstill and began not meeting its debt payments, the government shutdown and the markets began to plunge, Congress was unable to respond. President Adams began seizing emergency powers to stabilize the economy, protests and riots broke out across the country and rumors of armed militias began to abound.
A presidential plan to declare martial law of 23 American cities and arrest a number of “Problematic individuals” who the government felt was inflaming dissent and violence was leaked to the public. Several governors whose states housed those cities mobilized the national guard to discourage the federal forces from interceding.
The first shots of the fracturing however were not fired in the Continental United States, but off the coast of California. Though the details are still obscured ships of the United States Navy began firing on each other, some crews mutinied, others declared loyalty to various states or individuals others tried to stay loyal to the government. In the chaos, a large portion of the US Navy and its largest Aircraft Carrier was sunk.
Soon similar battles were seen across the United States and the Fracturing had begun
This RP starts in the year 2024. This is 3 years after the fracturing, the new factions have stabilized somewhat and everyone is at peace, i fully expect that to change.
This is going to be a realistic RP, so while this takes place in the near future and changes to state's, technology and ideology are certainly acceptable they must be grounded in realism and not change too much too fast.
