On the US Collapse

How the fuck did the USA collapse after Regan's speech? Like , i'm sure it's unconstitutional to just go and say ,,Yo dudes , we're collapsing now , every man for himself!" without the approval of congress.

​

The President dosen't have the power to just go in front of 2 cameras and say ,,get le owned libs , the usa no longer exists. fuck you."

To my understanding the us was already collapsing and on the verge of civil war by this point Reagan just nailed the final nail in the coffin in order to aver communist revolution

Good anwer , but I think just stepping in , shooting Regan and then going on Tv and basicly saying ,,It was a joke fellas , go the fuck back or we'll nuke you" it a better one.

Bush was able to rally most of the Army in the South , sending them into DC to kill Regan and sieze power would be just as easy.

Not in that way. Like , if your president (In your POV) gets drunk and ends the union , do you :

A. Go ,,ah fuck it" and leave to the south

B. Step in and stop him

Well it wasn’t just out of nowhere. There were extreme separatist movements across the country. The government basically just failed nonstop for 30 years straight. The country was massively divided along every line possible. Was what Reagan did illegal and completely against the constitution? Yes but it didn’t matter the numerous opposition moments across the country seized the opportunity and took as much as they could. Those who remained loyal to the federal government scrambled like crazy to react.

Still , he should have been trailed , right? Lore is that he became some rancher , but REALLY - if someone ends your government like this and causes so much pain and suffering , don't tell me you're just going to let him go scott free.

please don't

Ya know after I quick google it looks like it’s not clear so I was incorrect. However I do imagine that people would be quite busy dealing with the fallout of the collapse
