We arent going back to one nation, indivisible. Republicans have declared war on democracy and Democrats. They treat us not as the opposition, but as the enemy. And they have no interest in sharing governance with the enemy.
Putin gave us the final push by installing a malignant Manchurian candidate in the White House, but we were well on the way already after 30 to 40 years of the conservative revolution.
You cannot expect the states comprised of the majority of citizens to subscribe to a minority rule system that drains their tax dollars and spits on their values indefinitely. Eventually, the ties that bind will break.

White people are so afraid of being the minority that they would rather break their toy than share it with anyone that doesn't look like them.
