Americans are already split down the middle, though the two opposing sides are only just beginning to reach the point where our differences are great enough to repel us apart. However, those differences are real, and are becoming deeper and more pronounced with time.
There may yet come an incident or event that is the straw that breaks the camel's back, but what I see at present is an accumulation of acts by our government that have alienated and angered the right. The combined weight and pressure of these assaults against the guaranteed rights and liberties of the American people have nearly become too much for many to bear.
The cherry on top, is the result of the last election, which by all reason and informed analysis, should have gone to the Republicans. The shock of that loss was so great, and the evidence of fraud so rampant, that there's now a strong impression that the Democrats have rigged the system so that we can never win a presidential election again.
In short, there's a combination and accumulation of issues and assaults that have risen to unsustainable levels of pressure against the people. Just read this website. The bad news here can literally make your head spin some days. It's unrelenting, and serious enough to break anyone's faith in the union.
Well said.
I guess we'll just have to wait and see how things play out. I remain hopeful that this country will find a way to pull together and sort out some of our many problems.
