Slavery is dead - good
The Republic is dead - bad
Fedzilla has run amok - very, very, bad
I see two ways out of this morass.
Restore the republic or,
Balkanize, in a peaceful way this time, the good ole USA
There is no pleasant way to do this, my head is splitting.....
FRiends, I guess there is another way. Give up, go along with a strong centralized, socialist and all powerful government and pray it doesn’t kill all individual rights. Republics are antiquated ideas anyway, especially Free Republics. NOT!
