Let me also add: Even the Roman Empire fell, did you think this country would last forever without internal strife? I’m not saying we are witnessing the end of America, but I dare say that the solutions that lead to the country’s continued existence are getting funneled to something other than passive fuming.
The states are pushing back, as they should.
Well said.
The Civil War seems like ancient history, but it was as near in time to the formation of the U.S. as the Great Depression is to the present day. In other words, the nation was still young when it nearly fell apart.
Our current situation feels reminiscent of the years prior to the Revolutionary War, which saw many diplomatic overtures from the colonies to King George, attempts at reason and reconciliation to stave off bloodshed - yet with legitimate complaints and claims to be addressed.
