America is falling apart. The constant bickering between the Democrats and Republicans has broken the peace in this country.

The people can no longer rely on a stable government to lead them. With each passing day, more are worried as to where this country is headed. Morale is low. The people feel abandoned.

These conditions are perfect for civil unrest. When the people see our civic leaders fighting, they too will start fighting. Violence will erupt. At that point, anything can start a riot. Cities will burn.

Unless rival parties can put aside their differences and work together, we will soon be a country divided. And a divided country is sure to fall. Or worse: Democracy fails.
