America was isolated from WW2 and joined at the end on their terms and for their benefit thanks to their location/geography. America will easily self-isolate and go full V for Vendetta (white [Germanic? Anglo Saxon? I feel like Germanic covers both] ethnonationalism, as usual) until it eventually balkanizes.

But Americans are honestly the dumbest people I've ever met, seeming almost challenged in their happy ignorance, so what can Americans by themselves do against their owners and through hardship? Israelis bomb Palestine through Ramadan and the communities still break their fast together in the rubble of their homes; Americans can't afford something they've been advertised but definitely don't need and will start selling drugs, their bodies (OF has made it easier than ever too!) and, finally, their souls. I can't see them doing anything besides murdering when they have the upper hand and assenting in fear when they don't, and I definitely don't see them getting together productively.
