This election would be a test of ‘can democracy work well? Will there be an acceptance of the rules and an ability to work well under those rules?’ he said.

I think this election will be so messed up, no one will be able to tell who won, but - strangely enough - this will only affect the Presidential race.

The ballot counting will drag on, many lawsuits filed from both sides, and SCOTUS will issue a narrow ruling that won't really mean anything.

It seems we on the Right would rather just separate from those on the Left - just go our individual ways, but (for some reason) the Left wants to hold us hostage to there form of governing...

...Rather, the civil war Dalio envisions would involve “people mov[ing] to different states that are more aligned with what they want and they don’t follow the decisions of federal authorities of the opposite political persuasion.”

I see little wrong with this. Give the States back their rights (as expressed in the 10th Amendment) and each state can go Left or Right as the people see fit. Weaken the Feds - after all, the States created the Federal government...

the Left are authoritarian, self righteous and imperialist. Most on the Right simply want to be left alone.

The left: Our ideas are so good, they are mandatory.
