Andrew Jackson settled the doctrine of nullification for 190 years, and the Civil War settled the question of state sovereignty and secession for 150 years. Both of these settlements are now coming unglued. The left is now fully in support of nullification. Formal secession is still not on the table in any serious way, but nullification carried to an extreme becomes de facto secession. California is almost there. When the next democrat administration opens the borders and invites all of Mexico and Central America to move north — with expedited citizenship and voting rights in the offing — the rest of the country will have to make a decision.

If a Joe Biden Regency is elected this November, I believe we will see a thorough going destruction of the Constitution. You are quite right, flooding the zone with illegal aliens who will presumably vote Democrat is one Sure Way to eclipse conservatism for generations.

But I think we both understand that Joe Biden will be only a figurehead and the real election of the chief executive officer will occur sometime into his administration when one faction or another is able to seize control and run the country. It is the inevitable 2nd phase of a leftist revolution to see the Wolfpack devouring each other. Hitler had his night of the Long knives, Stalin murdered his co-Bolsheviks, Castro and Che Guevara lined them up against the wall. The French Revolution turned on itself and could not stop murdering until the man on horseback directed the murder to foreign countries.

It is inconceivable that a coterie of powermad leftist politicians will permit Biden to stumble unmolested through 4 years. The vacuum will be entirely too tempting. No one will be able to trust the forbearance of the other.

That struggle is likely to break out into wide Civil War with every faction striving to co-opt the institutions that will sustain them. The critical question will be, whether the American military?
