You Wonder What The Chances Are The US Will Become Unglued At Some Point.

[TheMastersNemesis]

The stridency of our politics seems to be grown. And it is particularly strident and contentious when you talk about gun control policies. We are in a place nationally on the political front that we have not been in in a long time.

1. You think we're currently still glued?

I don't feel all that glued.

2. All great empires fall. The U.S. will likey become from 3 to 5 separate countries within 50 yrs. nt

3. Agreed. I'm thinking 8 States. 6 on the mainland plus Alaska and Hawaii as separate states.

Perhaps an EU type of relationship between the 8 States.

4. Will?? n/t

[Orange Free State]

5. Too bad Mississippi and West Virginia

aren’t contiguous. Put together, they would make a dandy state that could be called Redneckistan or Bangthedesk or something. That’s one big chunk of idiots that could be kept in one big kennel, and the rest of us could get on with our lives.

8. I was thinking more like fuckistan

6. The poll discussed on Morning Joe had me worried.

The question was "do you believe there is a Deep State?" I think. The first round of answers indicated No, but then respondents had the term explained to them. After hearing an explanation, 74% said Yes, there are unelected persons with too much control over national policies.

The round table said this type of belief causes breakdown of democracies because it allows demagogues like trump to impose false messages.

7. We've always been unglued
