It probably seemed that way in 1970 too. But things calmed down. Hopefully this is a cycle and it will calm down now as well. Otherwise, it will be Civil War.

Things are so much different. You, my friend, don't realize it but you are living in the cusp of the third true revolution in human history. The fist being agriculture, the second the industrial revolution. The third is the digital age (which didn't exist in the 70’s).

This changes everything, absolutely everything.

Its different now.

I believe the Republic is done. The sane thing to do at this point is to structure a division. People can go to their political half.

Unless they do this, there will be a war.

It’s very different this time. That’s the point of the first paragraph and supporting paragraphs.

And keep in mind that our country is in a bit more debt than it was back then. I compare it thusly:

1960’s: we have 50% equity in our house and six months income saved up and dad loses his job.
Today: We are underwater on our house and all the credit cards are maxed out, we have no savings, and dad loses his job.

On the surface they seem the same, but they will play out very differently.
