Ever wondered why the neolib left in the US always has apocalyptic predictions of civil war in the streets and x president seizing power? Simple.

Six words - “The End of History,” Francis Fukuyama.
Massively popular (in the 90s) work of political philosophy that argued that after the fall of the Soviet Union, liberal democracy is the inevitable and terminal state of all government for eternity.
This is the same kind of thinking that Western evangelists hold - by bringing about the End Times, all good Christians will ascend into heaven and leave behind the unwashed, impious masses.
Neolibs, in comparison, want a collapse or conflict of some kind because for decades, they have believed unquestionably that their cause is the End of History, that in the End Times of America their ascension to power and eternal dominance is inevitable.
The problem for them, however, is that they cannot comprehend the possibility that maybe liberal democracy *isn’t* the end state of governance, and as such a form of tunnel vision arises.

With this in mind, American politics makes a LOT more sense.
Basically, the endgame is McGlobal Hegemony.
