We'll get through the fascist takeover as well. It'll take some doing, and it will be painful, but we'll get through it.

In 20 years we well be flat on our backs being looked at by doctors
in 50 we will have been through the convulsions of several "fixes" until we finally bleed out.
All of this depends on the fact that we continue on the current path of blind stupidity.
if, along the way, we finally get someone that can kick ass and take names, politically speaking, then and only then will we have a chance to heal and recover.
but alas...

USA is just another empire in decline. Unique, but following the same general pattern... over-extended military is a big downfall, typically.
