I don't see any structural changes to be likely since the constitution is designed to make fundamental change incredibly difficult however if the religious right has its way and Roe v Wade is overturned because Bush or a successor packs the Supreme Court then we almost move into Margaret Attwood The Handmaid's Tale territory. I see an even greater clash between the urban progressive elements and the fundamentalists.

I think greater national problems will draw attention away from the red/blue battle, but if Roe was overturned the result would be extremely devisive. I think you'd see a lot of migration as people look to ban abortion and people look to move out of areas where it has been banned.

The EU could spin apart.

I hope they get it together.
