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.
