The only hope I have for the USA is that things become so ugly and violent that Europeans look at the chaos and decide that perhaps voting for neo-fascist imbeciles is not the smartest thing to do, and begin to pull back from their ever-greater embrace of ultra-right-wing bigots and blusterers. As for the USA itself, it's already a hopeless case and the best that can be envisaged is that ultimately the coastal States split off and perhaps join up with Canada so as to inherit a ready-made currency and more adequate social legislation. The backward States - the Bible Belt etc. - will then just fester and rot in impoverished squalor and violence.
