You’re right. And the one certain casualty of this “war” is the Constitution. It breaks my heart, but also angers me so much. Can we ever get back to where we were or is it only down here from here? Reminds me of an old country song my dad used to love “Are the good times really over for good?.” He used to think so then. And it’s so much worse than that now.

Sure we can, if enough Americans are willing to make the necessary sacrifices.
I feel though, and feel it sadly, that right now enough aren't ready and willing to do that. Those who are willing know that at this point in time it would be a futile effort and their sacrifice would be wasted.

I constantly live with this thought in my mind...
The rest of us thought we were doing the right thing by waiting. I hope to God we were right.
