Hopefully nobody “wins”. I think the best outcome is a kind of peace of Westphalia - After the radicals have all slaughtered each other, the rational middle will carve out a new political process which lowers the horizons of government and allows everyone the kind of freedom of conscience provided by separation of church and state and everyone agrees to just stay out of each other’s way. Maybe this means more power to the states and less centralized federal government, maybe it’s a constitutional amendment which basically keeps everyone on their side of the fence, who knows. But I think the best outcome is when people stop trying to “win” and start trying to live in peace with each other
The whole problem is, there are huge sects of people that refuse to stay out of each other’s way.
They wanted to invade Canada, Mexico, and Greenland. Then they realized first they needed to invade the blue states - the ones that believe in rule of law. The ones that have immigrants and get along with them.
It’s the same type of expansionists, and their loyal poor underlings, present in Russia and in Israel.
And, like westphalia, peace only became an option after the radicals had spent the last 30 years killing each other off. The only people left over afterwards were those who were sick of all the killing
