Exactly. A MAGAt one-party dictatorship would rapidly become a deeply poor country run by armed gangs of criminal domestic terrorists. One of the things the Rs are too self-focused to realize is that the smart, educated “coastal elites” whom they abhor are the population that know how to successfully run a very large, very complex economy so well that even major disruptions like foreign wars and oil shocks have historically only rocked the boat with recessions and mostly civil disobedience. In the past, the reign of terror in the South against people of color was horrific, but even that did not bring the country down but eventually led to important, though insufficient reforms. Now the Republicans are enabling domestic terrorists and the they are deliberately doing it to break our democracy. So no, under MAGAt rule, life in America might not be any better than the poverty and violence in countries to our south whose people come here by the tens of thousands.
