Quotewell....then we get to see if Americans are even Americans anymore.

Based on what we have seen so far, I'm not getting my hopes up.  Consider the key changes in German society by early 1934: One year into Hitler.

Gleichschaltung (Coordination): All institutions are forcibly aligned with Nazi ideology.
The Enabling Act (March 1933):The Enabling Act (March 1933): The power to enact laws without the Reichstag.
Removal of Opposition: The first concentration camp, Dachau, opened in March 1933 for political prisoners.

Things are not moving as fast as then, but we have Fascism Lite 🍺 no doubt.  Oppression with half the calories.  The rhymes with Germany in 1933 are all over the place.  Allied forces will be marching into the ruins of Washington DC about 2038-2039 if things keep rhyming.  In a book I was reading decades ago the author was comparing Germans of that era to Americans.  Of All the European nations the Germans seemed most like Americans to him.  So if things keep rhyming our western front will be a very cold place to die.

Who makes up the Allied Forces?  Chinese & Ruskies?

Given the stockpile of Thermonuclear MIRV Warheads in the possession of all the main parties involved, I do not think the rhyming will be quite so exact once the military action escalates.

Far as how the average J6P will react, I expect the STICKER SHOCK coming in January will not play well.
