Forgive me if I’m woefully misunderstanding how this all works.

If the government is shut down, and they can’t reach an agreement to open it back up, what happens?

Short term? What does it look like in the coming weeks to months if no agreement is reached?

Mid-Term? Within the next year, if things are still all shut down, what happens to things like trade, tax payments, public services?

Long-term? If, worst case scenario, the divisions between the parties with power have grown so though they can’t ever reach an agreement: what happens then? Is it an anarchist state? Do we have new coup attempts to take power? Does the US balkanize?

I’m not meaning to inject any sort of bias in my line of questions, I hope I haven’t led anyone to any specific conclusions.

    There won’t be a long term. The mid term would see enough people out of work or without resources for food/shelter etc that they will resort to alternative means of acquiring resources which will then give the administration the excuse it needs to enact martial law

    …and that will be that

      I refuse to believe they need “The Event” to happen to accomplish their goals. If ot doesn’t organicallyhappen, one will be simply manufactured as we have in the past.

        oh absolutely…there probably won’t be an event…there hasn’t been one yet and he’s already deployed the troops
