I do, yes. Republicans aren't going to go to start a countrywide civil war over some razor wire on the border. That's the only other way this ends, either the funding cuts and a few local force deaths stop this, or it's literally civil war. I guess the secret 3rd option is that Biden just does nothing and Texas keeps doing what they're doing. That's also pretty likely. Either way 2 of those 3 options are basically systemically nothings, and a civil war is highly highly highly unlikely.
Sure, but Yugoslavia was never the heart of the imperial core. There's no way the US balkanizes over something like this, it would be completely devastating to global capitalist hegemony. They won't destroy themselves over something like this.
I mean, Brexit was the same kind of irrational, if lower stakes.
