Well, the US political system is insidious. It's rather like a good cop
bad cop shtik. But anyway, I doubt that there was any widespread intent
to break shit. Some of the "alt-right" may be in it just for the lulz.
Most Trump voters, though, were just pwned. Just like most Clinton and
Sanders voters were. It's all con, all the time, in my opinion.

That is the cycle, isn't it ;)

It was WWII that led to economic prosperity in the US. The war effort
built up industry. Europe and Asia were in ruins. The sense of shared
sacrifice encouraged hard work, and more equity. There were good
investment opportunities.

But that's gone now. Since the 70s, at least, the US has been
collapsing. Smart money has left. The rich have gotten richer, and don't
much need the rest. What they need is good security.

So yes, the US is fucked. Just another banana republic ;)
