We NEED a two party system, but it sure would be refreshing to have ‘loyal opposition’ again and not all of this hate and Full Frontal Communism to fight against! - Diana in Wisconsin

I agree. However, we’ll never see America united again. The only peaceful solution I see is some type of separation.

The sovereign remedy for this affliction, IMHO, it the deconstruction of "the MSM.”
IMHO the true legal name of the MSM is “the Associated Press and its membership, joint and several liability.” The AP - in fact, any wire service - functions as a virtual meeting of the members thereof. The AP - the granddaddy of them all - was in full flower before the start of the Civil War, and has been in continuous operation ever since. Adam Smith projected the result thusly:
People of the same trade seldom meet together, even for merriment and diversion, but the conversation ends in a conspiracy against the public, or in some contrivance to raise prices. - Adam Smith, Wealth of Nations (1776)
The effect which we call “the MSM” is actually just the “conspiracy against the public” implied by that unification of propaganda power. The concentration of propaganda power entailed in the AP was seen in the Nineteenth Century, but the AP’s mission of “the conservation of expensive telegraphy bandwidth in the dissemination of the news” was seen as making the AP “too big to fail.”
But this is the 21st Century and, as the internet illustrates, telegraphy bandwidth is now dirt cheap. Conservation of it is immaterial. Thus, the complete elimination of the wire service can be contemplated, and an antitrust suit could do it. An antitrust suit in conjunction with a libel suit would provide the rationale for SCOTUS to override NY Times v. Sullivan, a 1964 ruling which made it difficult for Democrats and Republicans to sue for libel. Which is fair in precisely the same sense that a law against sleeping under bridges applies to rich just as much as to poor. Democrats never need to sue for libel.
