Nope, because most US voters never crossed their county line.

I can't speak for everyone else, but I'm very aware. I don't know how this ends, but I know it's going to get really bad.

Yes to both halves of the question.

yeah but the active constant surveillance keeps us from talking with each other about it in public/privately owned buildings/urban areas/in cars/anywhere a phone is present

basically we have to go on camping trips if we want to actually discuss

I mean I know how terrible things are but refuse to accept it, either that or I'm numb and hope things will get better.

It's covered up yeah, most of the republicans are too dumb to realize it.

About half the country is completely checked out of politics, most of them probably know Trump's president, but uh, good luck getting accurate answers about anything else, only 47% of Americans can even name the 3 branches of government we have, so I'm being generous here.

The remaining half is split between people who are aware and people cheering it on.

The phrase "rogue state" to me always just sorta meant "uncooperative with the United States," which the United States can't be. I'm sure there's a more useful definition.

Honestly? I think the US can be uncooperatice with itself. At this point, nothing would really surprise me.
