If look at the Pennsylvania Special Election, Republicans:
* dumped in $12M, even including the NRC/NRCC which usually doesn't do that
* Tried to run on tax cuts, had to pivot to cultural issues, had to pivot to "he hates America"
* Still lost in a +20 district that hasn't been a risk in two decades

Everything stalls, and all needed such as infrastructure becomes a shit show!
I was reading about the collapse of Rome last night since I was busy avoiding the house project again. It was funny to see how much of it I had forgotten. The whole nice arch from Romulus to Romulus Augustus (that's it in Finnish anyway), the combination of corruption, diseases, mass movements, crumbling infrastructure and led in the water killed an empire we still talk about way more than we talk about the British imperium or Russia. You brought up crashes and I honestly fear how USA can survive this, when you're basically facing the whole same load of shit as the Romans did.
