The oppressors, who also fall into the liberal or conservative camps, will be the victims.
This is what Ray Dalio keeps writing about. He writes about it because it has happened repeatedly throughout history. The U.S. is not immune. Empires rise and fall. Even Rome fell. As economic disparity grows the wealthy become targets. If not the wealthy then it will get blamed on someone. In Europe it was blamed on the Jews in the early 20th century.
Who are the economically disadvantaged people in the U.S. blaming their problems on now? The 1%? Minorities? Immigrants? When it gets bad enough it turns to civil war. It can happen here.

Now that I think about it, the comparison to what's going on now to Nazi Germany in the early days, isn't a bad one...a small, violent, power-hungry group tries to drum up support by playing the blame game for its ills....using terrorism as a tactic...and lots of broken glass lately...
Economically disadvantaged? Prior to this over-hyped "pandemic," jobs were a plenty and people were happy. Minorities were enjoying an employment level unseen at any time prior.
If the "economically disadvantaged" want to blame someone...blame DEMOCRATS (always) and the Media (always always).
Democrats have presided over some of the most economically disadvantaged areas of the nation for DECADES and DECADES. Not ALL economically disadvantaged areas...of course...but MOST...
Bad enough? What is bad enough? Was it "bad enough" only a few short months ago when everyone had a job and everything was humming along?
