The only way this can happen is if the nation is already irretrievably gone.
We have a chance to catch it, but great turmoil will be the price.
We’re already over that prevention dam. I have lots of Democrats around me, and they all share the “win at any price — the only thing that counts is to win”.
Some even use the phrase, “by any means necessary,” with no ken of that phrase’s origins... (Since they don’t teach history any more.)
