A republic is a representative democracy, a form of government where people elect individuals to represent their interests (as in a central government) as a opposed to a direct democracy in which people represent themselves (as in a club).

Can a divorce be peaceful?

Probably not.

I’m okay with that.

The D.C. Elite has done nothing BUT worked hard to divide US for decades.

- divide and conquer is their plan. At the same time, they have us in a pot of water and have been s-l-o-w-l-y turning up the heat on us.

They do nothing but shore up their own power against US - using more and more of OUR tax dollars to do it!

They’ve worked with the media to make us feel a ‘responsibility’ to choose a “team” and to fight the opponent. And now, thanks or obamas administration, it is “all’s fair game” when fighting.

They have US breaking up families and friendships as well as, well, killing each other, while they continue to build up their power against us with our money.

“Currently, some 27 percent of all Californians were not born in the United States. More than 40 million foreign-born immigrants currently reside in the U.S. — the highest number in the nation’s history.”

Legal as well as illegal. A huge issue that Open Borders politicians will not admit and why California no longer has American values.

In California politicians serve Mexican nationals first. I am not exaggerating.

When Boomers were born white Americans were 90% of the country. They were America, along with the 10% American blacks.

The 1965 civil rights act and the 1964 immigration act kick started the idea that native white Americans are unjust, undeserving of keeping the country that our ancestors created, and that we are somehow required to surrender the country to waves of foreigners who have absolutely no connection with us.

While Americans have been force fed that constant diet of 'race doesn't matter' our imported 3rd world populations don't believe it at all. They are unashamedly tribal. California is the proof.

“Even GOPs who spoke yesterday implied that both sides are at fault. We’ll never fix things until the truth is spoken first.”

Within a year of Calexit, the entire province would revert to Mexico and the liberals there would ‘migrate’ back here.

Not permissible. Any returnees should be made to apply for entry, treated as resident aliens and deported back to CA for the slightest misbehavior.

Depends on who is the winner.

Liberal and Democrats, No.

Decent, God fearing people who love America, support the Constitution and know right from wrong, Yes.

“why the /s tag”

'Cause killing political enemies is not acceptable unless they are threatening your well-being, your life or that of your family, friends and neighbors. Most are not, as long as you can defeat them and curb their harmful policies.

we have also largely drank the 'race doesn't matter' Kool-Aid.

It's not race, it's culture.

If it were, Hillary Clinton would be president today.

After accounting for the illegal and fraudulent votes she would have lost by two million.

"You have to face reality that this 320 million person empire is not working. Breaking up into regions countries is the only answer. It can be done peacefully without bloodshed."

Peacefully? I don't think so! Consider the situation with The PLO and Israel. There is no peaceful solution because no matter how much Israel is willing to compromise for a peaceful solution, the Godless PLO says they want to see Israel driven into the sea.

The same would be true of the Godless left. They will not be satisfied to compromise, just as they utterly refuse to acknowledge the election results, they want to control all and will stop at nothing short of it.

The last thing I want to see is bloodshed, so I agree with you on that point. I don't know what the answer is to this dilemma. That is why many of us have turned to God to save our nation and are trusting Him to help us find a way, just as we did in the recent election when first it seemed impossible for the Republican primary to find a real conservative candidate, and then the odds seemed so overwhelming that Hillary's vast population of inner city liberals and illegals would outvote us ..... that miracle (answer to prayer) happened.

Where does one start and the other begin? Race and culture are not mutually exclusive.
