It amazes me, but a mere 248 years almost to the day for the American Experiment to fail

It was a great run, thankfully I was alive for some of it but my children and grandchildren will grow up in a radically different America. I now agree with Marjorie Taylor Greene. Split the country. Let democracy live on in Half the country.

4. But sadly we won't. Too many seem to think our side

sticking to the rules will somehow protect us like a magical shield from a dictatorship. Instead by allowing the other side to break the rules witn no consequences because there is no legal way to enforce them that it is exactly what will be ushered in without anything being done to stop it.

At any rate if rules are going to be broken anyway I trust Democrats to pick only the ones necessary to protect people from harm. Where as Republicans will choose ones to break so that they can cause irreparable harm to many.

5. Oh for

Pete's sake, our country hasn't failed.
I'll make a bet with you right now. Even if the jackass gets elected, 5 years from now we will all still be here doing just fine and we'll be fixing whatever he broke. We have a solid system, all we have to do is follow it and stop declaring the end of the world every time something doesn't go the way we want it to.
When everything is a declared disaster, nothing is.
I'll be the first to admit, some of this stuff is starting to get to me from time to time, but I'm not a doomer. We live in an awesome country and we are quite resilient by design. We can survive whatever is thrown at us. We always have, and we will again if the need arises.
