We as a nation are at that defining moment when one side has to win and the other lose; there is no middle ground.
Not since the decade leading up to the Civil War has there been as much discussion about the possibility of the United States splitting into two or more countries as there has been in the past 10 years. The reality is that this nation has effectively split into two countries which are, for the moment, tenuously living side-by-side.
Race or ethnicity has been the underlying foundation in the creation of every nation in the history of mankind except the United States, as its founding was based on the tenet that all men are created equal and are endowed with certain unalienable rights that government cannot abrogate. As it does not have the cohesive factors of race or ethnicity, this nation as constituted can only survive based on the goodness of its people and the wisdom and integrity of its ruling class.
Ben Franklin at the close of the Constitutional Convention in 1787 in a speech to his fellow members of the convention said of the newly drafted Constitution and the government it created:
…and there is no form of Government but what may be a blessing to the people if well administered, and [I] believe farther that this is likely to be well administered for a course of years, and can only end in Despotism, as other forms have done before it…
Ben Franklin’s prescient forewarning has come to pass. Over the past thirty-years, a plurality of ill-educated and malleable citizens have allowed the self-serving, decadent and nescient ruling class, in alliance with the radical left, to establish near-permanent despotism in the United States. They have deliberately and inexorably widened the gulf between the people

It’s two nations within a country.
The truth is what I say it is.
So far, we ain’t winning. The nasty and foul ones are running things.
It is because the left cannot abide by the Constitution.
The overtake foisted on our majority through lying cheating stealing and lawlessness by a minority and paid help using our money I say cut off their funding if November can’t fix this mess
.
“It’s two nations within a country.”
Yes it is.
One of those nations controls the media, government bureaucracies, courts, the seat of the Federal Government, education sector, the urban areas, etc.
They also seem to have an unlimited amount of money that keeps their bank accounts full and campaign contributions rolling in.
The US has been a country in the sense of a geographical area with a single government, but it has never been a nation in the sense of a cohesive society with a common ethnic and ideological outlook.
Even at the founding, the southern planters, mid-Atlantic merchants, and New England farmers and traders that were represented in Philadelphia each had their own social outlooks and priorities, not to mentions the slaves, indentured servants, frontiersmen and other underclass immigrant not represented.
Further waves of immigration in the 19th Century created additional religious, linguistic, and ideological communities ruled by a thin layer of WASPs.
The only “nation” was the fake one created by intense propaganda efforts during WW I & II which fell apart in the 1960s. Since then, racial, religious, linguistic, ethnic and ideological conflits between “nations” have resumed.

I'm 78...what is going on is unbelievable. Biden's cabinet is filled with immoral, perverted scum bags. How did we sink so low??
Absolutely.
We need a national divorce (separation) before we start killing each other - which has already probably started.
The overturn of Roe was a step in the right direction of national separation.
Totalitarianism
Are we there yet?
Many of us on here have been saying this for quite a while. The leftists are determined to kill us. It's obvious.
Excellent comment.
agree 100%
That woman was spot on.
Yes.
This time, whatever happens, let's do our best to avoid the incomprehensible slaughter and economic destruction of 1861-1865.
