January 6th really didn’t do anyone any good. I hate that this happened. I suppose intentions were good but it turned out to be more trouble then it was worth.

Half the country believes in self reliance, right and wrong and just wants to be left alone by an intrusive government and activists hell bent on enforcing their will on everyone else, the other half can’t figure out which bathroom to use.

I’m not one for predicting another Civil War here in the US. How would anyone define “North v. South” these days?

What we really need to do is brush up on our understanding of Balkanization.

America is close to a hundred disparate conflicting geo-political factions. Largely defined as rural v. urban.

A significant portion of the American populace has been brainwashed into an alien way of thinking (postmodernism).

And those of us remaining have been given an ultimatum: assimilate (i.e., become alien, too) or die.

That means that there is no center TO hold.

The truth is that the left has become more and more radical as the people drift further into unbelief.

The left is drifting toward communism. Communism is atheism.

14 Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?

It’s About 2/3 for trump esp after the truth comes out. And it probably will.

Versus the people who want to destroy the country about 1/3. Look at the comparative sizes of the trump rallies and the Biden flops. Then consider the fraud 2020 is not the only election stolen by Dems.

The 2/3 have a leader to guide them in telling the destroyers that it’s over

The military is on this side of that, the president and his team. the senate (in numbers) and the majority.

The destroyers can keep trying to yell, burn and scream but they’ll fade

Cultural entities- film, tv- will be free to produce good and inspiring stories. The news media will implode -already has. Social media won’t be giant

It’ll hold.

The Second Coming
BY WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS
Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again; but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

The USA started to seriously crack following the 1974 Roe v. Wade STCOTUS* decision allowing the genocidal butchering of children of the womb.

After 60,000,000 such butcherings, half the voters now elect politicians who support continuing (and expanding) such crimes against humanity.

Now these Demonicrats support Antifa/BLM communist terrorism and want to destroy the Constitution.

There is no way these traitorous Demonicrats can be part of a unified United States, except as tried, convicted, and sentenced to be onetime rope testers.

Excellent article. It's such a shame that AT has ended reader comments. I hope they can survive the onslaught they are enduring.

In the most recent episode of the podcast "The Classicist," Victor Davis Hanson was asked by interviewer Troy Senik where this is headed. Mr. Senik started off by saying that CW I had clear lines of geographic separation because slave labor was being used to produce cotton and that we don't have such clear separation today. VDH replied that we are indeed self-separating today -- "look at the growth in Florida, Texas, Tennessee and Idaho."

Understanding Progressive Illiberalis‪m‬, The Classicist with Victor Davis Hanson

Victor Davis Hanson examines how progressivism has captured American institutions: everything from higher education to high finance, from tech to sports. Along the way, he explains what progressives’ cultural ascendance has revealed about their ideology, predicts what it means for the Right, and analyzes whether a backlash is imminent.

The only people left in the center are the people too stupid to realize they will have to pick a side.

Patriots simply want to believe what they want and be left alone (as long as they don’t illegally infringe someone else’s rights). Progressives want to redefine rights and crimes and punish anyone who doesn’t mouth and practice “right think.”

Can the center hold?

I have always viewed the center as being uninvolved, disinterested, and not willing to think about issues. They sort of go along with the crowd and try to live their lives. Bumper sticker slogans work for these people. They're the type of people who will wear the lapel ribbon or wrist band because someone else does and it allows them to be part of the crowd. They do not prioritize. They lack the core values and principles to make decisions. They are single-dimension in their thinking and do not see the consequences of policy or anticipate unintended consequences.

The center is malleable and should be seen as important to victory to the right. It is much greater than 10%. The 30% that is used to be is probably more correct. It is just that two-thirds of the 30% have been superficially and temporarily aligned with the right and left. I write temporarily because they can easily be convinced of something different because they are superficial and malleable.

It's not two cultures. The Left spews that propaganda. Yes, there are takers, but as evidenced by the support of President Trump, this country is filled with Americans while having a small group of globalists using the Uniparty to seize power from them.

There's a reason they have to cheat and why such evils as Roe vs. Wade had to go through a minuscule group on a court bench - We The People don't want them or their heinous crimes.

The center needs to wake up and pick the side that’s going to leave them alone when the dust settles. One side demands you hand over half your paycheck to the government and that your daughter share a bathroom and a locker room with boys. The other side believes in families and keeping your own money.

Really shouldn’t be a difficult choice.

The invitation to secede should be on a county by county basis... over several decades.
