I like how people use "survive" in these contexts. Will the UK survive Brexit? Will the US survive Trump? No, we'll sink into the sea, never to be heard of again. ?
(I mean, it sort of makes sense in the Brexit context, since the union is imperilled, but still...)

@previous (tteh !420.69LELw)
I could see situations where the state doesn't survive. Like imagine asking "Can the German Democratic Republic survive the fall of the Berlin Wall?" the answer is "No". The German nation survived but the East German state did not. States die all the time in history. It's just like companies going bankrupt and getting liquidated.
So I can definitely imagine scenarios (stuff like civil war, a military coup, WWIII) in which the Trump Administration leads to the end of the American state. They're ridiculous and unlikely to happen though.
