It would be nice to see the collapse discussed in real-time, but also have something to reference in the future as significant turning points.

Trump is threatening shutting down FEMA just to fuck with California. I wouldn’t be surprised if a few states start to talk about what the point of the union is.
They’ve got a big military, civil war two isn’t going anywhere.
It’s more subtle than that though. The Federal government can only call out the army in very targeted ways, and states already only obey federal laws that come with funding.
The official union won’t disolve easily, but many of the practical benefits of the union may erode quickly.
The supreme court probably won’t stop being the highest in the land, but executive orders and federal laws not backed by military action could quickly lose their current influence.
