Exactly.
It's a second total failure. The other ended in a civil war.
The US constitution doesn't provide an environment in which difficult problems are resolved. It just stores them up, like a Beirut warehouse filled with fertiliser.
Every political system has a trust structure embedded within it, which regulates the edifice in a non-partisan way. The American constitution simply doesn't deliver that.
The presidency has recently served the Republican half of the country and has tried to bribe the swing states with subsidies.
The senate is just a partisan club of aged, wisdom-free incumbents.
The House is a toothless tiger.
SCOTUS is a partisan bench.
And so you have a party that is dedicated to lying, and which is attempting a coup, supported by a sizeable minority of the country.
It doesn't get solved by Biden assuming the presidency. It continues until the structure changes. By one means r another. I prefer peaceful paths. But they aren't the only ones that occur in situations like this. Very worrying.
