Unfortunately this. What is dooming this country is one side is allowed to engage in corrupt abuse of the law, the judicial system, the invigation systems, enforcement action, selective prosecutorial abuses for political purposes. Combining the (low enough) ethos to do that, with the pass they all get for doing so, without question.
The other American side, has an honorable ethos and doesn't do that shit. And gets crucified non-stop if there is a hint that they might. Just look at the bullshit about the Texas pardon this month, of all things.
When engaged in asymetric warfare, and the otherside is nearly symetric in strength and ALSO gets to engage in underhanded asymetric warfare while you do not, it only goes in one direction. Combine that with the digital information collection, tracking, and now assessment and catagorization systems, and the future doesn't look so great.
