All that's needed is a 4T level crisis to get the ball moving on the idea of separating blue America from the rest of America. I'd say blue America has ten years before America lets go of them and sends them adrift to fend for themselves in a changing world with small tyrants who have more money and greater military capabilities than the blue state of whatever name the blues choose, whatever left wing ideological "ism" the majority prefer at the time and whatever flag the majority of blues like the best.(08-22-2018, 10:05 PM)Bad Dog Wrote: Pence makes me want Dan Quayle back.
Trump isn't going anywhere, and neither is his base. In Britain, the PM would have been ousted in a week.
Maybe the Brits could loan us a Royal or three?
True demagogues create their own politics, as Trump certainly has. If it fails in 2020, then no permanent damage will have been done. If it continues into another Presidential term, then we're faced with the real question: can a cult of personality rule an advanced country without breaking it beyond repair? I honestly can't say yes, as much as I would like to, which should be scary enough to give us pause.
