"We are in a post-Christian, post-rational society that can’t answer the simplest questions (like, ‘what is a woman’?)." Ianto is right -- this alone is more than enough to bring an end to the Empire. Obviously. The popcorn's been eaten, the credits are still rolling on the cinema screen, and the audience is just waiting to see the words "The End". The financial, military, industrial, and political malignancies can not be cured by a hypnotized people living in a world of omnipresent digital deception, boundless greed, and worship at the high altar of sensual "pleasure". There is now only one possible remedy remaining, and that is staggering hardship. Those who survive that are going to have their work cut out for them.

The basic premise (that at least some of them are actively considering letting Trump «win» and take the blame for all the crap that's going to happen) is sound. Not so sure about the elaboration; there are lots of things that can change until November.

As for the Rest of The World: some countries are doing the exact opposite – becoming functional colonies of the U.S.. That might be stupid at this point but it works for the «elites», and no one cares about the proles anymore.
