    This empire is going to take a few generations to fall. Doubt I’ll see a revolution in my life time, but maybe my kids will get to see that silver lining.

      Unless you’re really old, I wouldn’t bet too hard on that. Things tend to happen quickly once they reach a tipping point.

      The Arab spring revolutions were not even two years long and a dozen countries countries with 4 rulers being deposed.

      I would absolutely bet money that before I die in 30-40 years the US will have fewer states than it currently does.
