I think there will likely be the rise of local strongmen candidates who promise to definitively take out the drug trade and soft on crime epidemics. I’m predicting governors in red states who will be much more militant (almost El Salvador tier). Then there will be a crisis period of any liberal federal government trying to stop them, but I think it will dissipate. I’m not sure we will reach civil war or just constant crime and vigilantism.
