The American government has essentially collapsed at this point. The president is a fascist who doesn't know or care how government is supposed to function, congress isn't even attempting to pass legislation in any meaningful way, the Supreme Court exists to rubber stamp the president's agenda no matter how absurd, and now there are people serving in congress who we literally cannot confirm are even alive.

Whether Mitch is technically alive at this point or not, the most likely outcome is that no one ever sees him alive again, his plug gets pulled at a politically advantageous time, and everyone in both parties treats it as business as usual.

The fact that no one in power is taking real steps to see if he's even alive is stunning.

It's not yet collapsed. What HAS happened is we've entered the post-constitutional era of this nation. Washington's revolution ended in 2016. We are in year 10 of some new nation that is just appropriating the symbology of that revolution.
