2. I agree and do not think there is any way this former union survives this

What I think we should be focusing on is how to have a decent and functioning federation of the states in what was once the united states.

The ridiculous idea that we can unite ever again is some sort of hallucination. A dangerous one at that, as it is dragging us all down.

It was so easy, actually, for the billionaires to take down the union. It seems to have happened in just these past 50 years. But they were steadfast and roped themselves to the religious zealots.

And anyone claiming that they will or can "bring us together again" is just pandering. If you have lived or worked with anyone in so called "red America" you would know.

The bubbles most people seem to live in is preventing clarity here.

I have been hoping that I was wrong for quite sometime. But I don't think so.

The dismantling of the civil service was the death knell in my opinion.
