Democracy is a fairly good system for governing a fairly homogeneous group of people with shared ideals and values. It is NOT a reasonable system for sharing power between two or more groups with nothing in common at all which basically just hate each other. At that point, all you have left is a contest to see who can do the better job of gaming the system, which is what we have now.

Under our republican system our constitutional 'ideals and values' are clearly outlined in the document itself..
We do not need to share power with groups that attempt to 'game the system',-- we can simply refuse to play their games, - on a county or state basis.
Civil [nonviolent] disobedience on a large enough scale will work.
County and State officials are sworn to support and defend the Constitution, -- not the socalled 'laws' made up by liberals.
