You keep thinking & speaking as if we live in a democracy when we actually live in a republic. Like I said, I could live without California. I assume that Californians would be given a choice of whether to stay American and remain with America or identify as a Californian and accept whatever system that a group of blues decide is best for all people who remain in California. I don't care if California goes back to building roads like our ancestors did back in good old days.
Well, you are the extremist. For most people, the system as it is isn't bad enough to tear it down. The Spiral of Violence is not escalating domestically. The see saw has been switching back and forth regularly, so folks are used to living under really bad presidents from their perspective. This is to be resolved by a political brouhaha, rather than old style Industrial Age violence.
The demographics and the issues will settle it, eventually. Every year, the Red Boomers get older and the green issues become easier to see. We just have to suffer through the red nonsense before the juggernaught eventually develops
It could take a while. Cultures are incredibly stubborn.
That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
