I respectfully disagree with your scenario. History has proven that we do not fold our tents and run for cover when the shlt hits the fan, on the contrary, we tend to become more cohesive and attack the problems while putting aside our differences. The bigger the challenge, the more aggressive our response.

I had the opportunity to spend some time at WTC site shortly after 9/11 and there were no blue states or red states, no Dems or Reps, no libs or cons; just Americans. We put aside the political BS of trying to get someone elected and committed to getting the job done. What we see and hear in the media is there to sell papers and increase viewership as well as stir the shlt in the pot.

I do not see America falling, perhaps taking a punch but we have done that many times before and come back stronger and with greater resolve.

I respect your opinion and hope you have the same appreciation for my position. I don't want to start the usual PP debate on this just giving another perspective.
