Wealth and income disparity... wealth and income concentrated at the top few percent of the population

Cuts in jobs, services, benefits at the federal level, and 'trickling down' to state and local levels

Rise in local taxes to offset decrease in federal funds, taxes, benefits, services and protections like FEMA, Education, Healthcare, Medicare/aid, housing, food assistance, SNAP, etc

Inflation... driven largely by tariffs (and greed) as well as cuts in benefits like healthcare insurance and disaster relief

Growing unrest driven largely by 'those at the top' looking for problems to exacerbate and someone to blame... even while stats show that crime has decreased in recent years.

Gun culture... country is awash in guns

Rogue, corrupt and lawless administration attempting to provoke and declare martial law in order to usher in a dictatorship, stripping people of their rights and basic humanity

Remember who largely encouraged and drove the gun culture, with few to no protections or common sense laws? The same ones who will no doubt be seeking to take those guns away from what they call "hell holes" now...

"Wealth and income disparities in the US are substantial and increasing, with the top 10% of households controlling a significant majority of total wealth (around 67-69%), while the bottom 50% holds a much smaller share (around 2.5-3%). This trend has worsened since the 1970s, contributing to a stagnant poverty rate, and is exacerbated by racial and ethnic wealth gaps, where White households possess disproportionately more wealth than Black and Hispanic households. Key drivers include shifts from globalization and technological advancements, with less-educated and minority groups often experiencing wage stagnation or job loss."
