Yup. The shit is gonna hit the fan quick. The blue states will hang on for as long as possible, but shit can fly from DC all the way to the west coast.

Corporate media will be ever more obsequious to get access. Military presence for "safety" in certain cities labeled "dangerous" which all happen to be progressive. Then the self-censorship starts. Then people stop being able speak freely, let alone thinking a rule of law exists. Then it's "underground" to have an honest conversation about politics. We'll be in Putin's Russia level of legal system and political speech within a few years.
