If we end up with some version of "democratic socialism" there will eventually be a hard reset. People aren't gonna pay (a.k.a. having it confiscated against their will) well over half of their income to the govt. etc...  I'm guessing the first thing that will spring up are secession movements in earnest. Then it will only devolve from there.

The problem is the non-white majority will continue to vote Democrat and support socialism because they won't suffer the tax burden and there are still a good number of white Marxist ideologues who want socialism too. The white minority that wants liberty and a free economy is a shrinking minority. Will they fight back at some point? I am not really seeing it. Our rights have been dwindling away for 60 years and there hasn't been any real push back.

No. It is in the constitution. There are always people who have contrary views, but they won't constitute a majority of the SCOTUS.
As far as the white fright, I don't get it. There are plenty of white people and will continue to be. However, who cares what color people are? Honestly.

Get out of your little academia fantasy land and go live in a predominantly black country or in the middle of a predominantly black city and then get back to me.

Oh, he sees colored folks all the time. They come to him for financial aid assistance. He's not an educator, he's a worker bee in academia.
DC is a symptom, not the cause. The cause is basic voter stupidity and economic ignorance.
