"The solution is not some national divorce or civil war. The solution is for the Right to stop being rank amateurs when it comes to politics and governance. Purge the grifters and incompetents. Bring back the old sharks and have them train a new generation in the art of election warfare. And once in power, actually use that power to purge or destroy the institutions responsible for brainwashing so many of our countrymen. The Right has to articulate and act on a positive vision for America and break out of this learned helplessness that we find ourselves in as we point and object while the other side steadily achieves their goals. We have to learn from the Left in order to defeat it." This is the grift though, its spineless do-nothings by design. I think the only recourse at this point is to tear it down and rebuild...but there's no way that can or will happen without the buzzards swooping in and making a total mess of whatever is left on a federal level. Let the power go back to the states would be a good start.
