    If only there were unity among the people. The problem is that half of the US population is convinced the crooked tyrants are the ones protecting them from corruption and tyranny.

      Well then I guess it is time for Civil War: Part Deux. And maybe this time, we let Sherman continue his march. Reconstruction was a mistake, and the US is now paying dearly for it some 150+ years after the fact. If we had stamped out the racists then, they wouldn’t be a stupidly large constituency of the redhats now.
