They might kick the Trumpists out with some effort but the rot goes very, very deep."

I honestly feel that the best thing for America is to break into two parts, let the Maga / Racists have their own country, and the normal ones their own. America isn't compatible with itself as it stands.

They fought a very bloody civil war to avoid that outcome and the US is a much, much stronger country if they bury their differences and work for a common good. In many ways a split would be a much worse outcome than even what we are seeing at the moment.

It's funny that, the North supposedly won, doesn't look that way these days. Do you honestly think they can bury their differences? Maybe in a few generations if these Trump policies are reversed soon. Otherwise it doesn't look good for America.

The south is still losing. Doing even worse under Trump. Things are grim out there. People will swallow their pride and their hate for a better life for them and their kids. Well sane people will anyway. It has happened throughout history. Bitter enemies lay down their weapons and go back to living a life together. I don't believe the US has met my personal definition of sane for some time, accepting stuff no sane society would. The media and for profit religion has a big role in the psychosis I am sure.

I mean they're winning in that their racism is now back and they can behave like cunts
