I think 2020 will look VERY different.

I think by 2020 the United States will no longer exist as it does today. I think by 2020, if things continue the way we are heading, there will either be mass revolt, or mass division between states, effecting secession. Time will tell, but my money is on mass cultural devolution, before another evolution of progress.

We are nearing a public distrust and displeasure with government that we had in the late 60's, and the authoritarian side of federalism has grown far more immense since then, as well as the technology of the protesters and tools of the extremists.

If things continue, I would predict a movement much like the Zapatista movement in Mexico, resulting in a fragmented nation, and set the stage for a final attempt at an all out power grab by the federalists which will most likely spark most of the extremists and fringe middle class. When the middle class gets involved, major things will happen.
