“Nothing works.”
As I wrote, ‘The states and the people created the Federal Government, the “corrupt DC”’.
They could get together in convention and form a new government, a new governmental structure to replace the present one. They’d have to do something like that anyhow to “reunite” as you wrote.
But you’re correct, that wouldn’t work either. The people who should put forth such an effort don’t have sufficient cohesion and would be overwhelmed by the same types who have led us to the present situation. Secession won’t work either though. For one thing, the states are too “purple” as opposed to pure red (or blue for that matter). At least they were the last time I looked.
All secession will do is destroy the United States (I don’t mean the Federal Government which is supposed to merely be a tool of the States) more quickly and thoroughly. That looks like a long term goal of some faction.
See all your points, but the US is beyond repair in its present state. Have you seen the latest scandal ? The FBI was investigating the CIA ? And two top generals are being taken down in scandal. Everything in DC is corrupt. Very simple solution. The states all secede. DC goes bye bye. The states then reunite over a period of time rebuilding a clean government that has been reset. And both the Republican and Democratic Parties are made illegal. It would take them another 100 years at least to corrupt that situation. IMHO. It is so corrupt it is almost beyond left right issues.
