Is the United States going to break up like Soviet Union?

Well, I think this USA Today poll/Suffolk University poll is reflective of... I'm assuming they polled registered voters or maybe they polled the entire sampling of the whole country, but this is reflective regardless of where the United States has politically realigned between, I would say, the end of the 2012 election and 2016 where it was solidified and now in 2020, we're not only as the political system realigned, t's very polarized.

Half of any poll is going to be against Trump, against conservatism, and then the other half, if the poll was taken the other way, would be against President-elect Biden, which we're seeing now, large swathes of the country do not accept him as president legitimately. There is a firm belief that there was significant voter fraud despite there being a lack of conclusive evidence.

So what we've seen is the United States realigned politically into two very divided and polarized camps between right and left. And interestingly, the individuals who identify right and left in some cases, no longer represent the traditional definition of those terms.

There's a lot of shared policy between Bernie Sanders’ voters and Donald Trump's voters, and likewise both parties Republicans and Democrats are experiencing significant schism within their parties with regard to the old guard or establishment versus new activists in the Democratic Party that would be the progressive wing championed by Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, and on the Republican side, it would be the Trump nationalist and populist wing, which right now is in charge of the Republican Party versus what's left of what I would call the old Eisenhower Republican Party.

So, this poll question of if Donald Trump is a success or failure, obviously the 49-50% that are significantly opposed are going to say no, and, of course, Donald Trump's voters and even some of the establishment Republicans but grudgingly are going to say that that's not accurate.

This is only going to cause significant harm to the country, in general, which we saw with the collapse of the stimulus package to assist Americans because the two parties had to deal with the schisms within their party.

It's not going to get any better, and those who is ultimately going to suffer are your everyday average Americans in the country. And then on the international stage, this opens the door for neo-cons, Zionists, and such to exploit foreign policy and redirect it back to a significant war in Empire building which is representative of the cabinet pics of President-elect Biden.

So my final analysis is, the more things change, the more things stay the same, within the United States with the exception the country is extremely polarized, extremely divided, more so than it is ever been in its history with even mainstream politicians, talking about the breakup of the United States, which logically, probably could happen along the lines of the Soviet Union.
