IS THE AMERICAN REPUBLIC STILL REPAIRABLE BY DEMOCRATIC MEANS.....

....or are we now at the point where a Stalinesque Reign of Terror against right wing terrorist insurgency is required to salvage the Republic?

Does our Constitution even allow the kind of "fix" of which America is in desperate need,

or does it need to be suspended until the Red State Insurrection is squashed by whatever means required
and a new constitutional convention can be convened?

America is at a tipping point,

and if it tips the wrong way, the Republican Party way,

it will be flushed down history's toilet as another failed social experiment.

What's the preferred action? Do we do something about it? Do we just say "fuck it" and let history choose its own course?

I don't see the sense of urgency required to do anything but the latter.
Thus, if I were required to predict,
the dystopic demise of the Republic would right now, at least, seem to be the smarter bet.
 
Nobody who's NOT on ignore has any comment?

I guess that it's so obvious that it doesn't require discussion.

We're fucked.
 
Who is going to vote for the Religious Quacks and QAnon Supporters that make up the Republican Party?
Democrats will probably wipe the floor with these Clowns in 2022 and 2024.

you will be or probably worse if you go after the working conservative class that owns most of the weapons.

The idea than private citizens could protect themselves with small arms may have made sense in the late 18th Century but it's absolutely ludicrous now.
Also, the conservative working class is too mentally deficient to defend itself anyway.

Non-billionaire conservatives are by any reasonable standard complete idiots.

it is absolutely more necessary now and leftwing leaders such as Chicago, allow criminals to continue to kill each other along with citizens that are not allowed to protect themselves. That stupid shit does not and could not happen here as citizens are allowed to own weapons to respond immediately instead of hiding hoping law enforcement arrives before it is too late. If you truly believe that last statement, come and get some boy.

That would be fine if the popular vote meant anything, Jack.
It doesn't, and in electoral votes, right wing states are wildly over represented compared to their percentage of the population.

Places like Georgia and Arizona that went blue are locally "fixing" things so that such can't happen again.

You're vastly underestimating the machinations that are underway in Republican controlled State Legislatures.

It's nothing less that a full scale insurrection.

In all likelihood, I could have stretched and pounded somebody like you when I was fourteen and most likely still can at seventy-four.

The real humor is trying to imagine you calling me "boy" to my face.

Welcome to ignore, you feckless troglodyte.
I shall no longer subject myself to any drivel that you post.
With your grammar, it's nearly impossible to read anyway.

MAGA is yet one more right wing troll.

I am 56 and could let you pound on my all day and not feel it. That being said I would not refer to you as boy/girl if you did not post like one.

Popular vote is not fair representation as everyone with a brain knows. Metro owned cattle should not be determining leadership for the country. Since Minorities make up many metros, maybe being owned is something they favor.

I don't think the nation is divided as some believe.
The question is, who would benefit by such a belief?

An oligarchy, a collection of the wealthy and powerful. We must analyze power and quit using the excuse that people are divided by beliefs.

Well, BP, how then shall we explain the actions being presently taken by red state legislatures?
Am I going by what I feel,
or am I going by what's being reported in the news?

The division is real from everything that I can see.

Other nations have partitioned because their citizens were truly incompatible.

It's not an original story.

The important thing is that we don't make up our own reality based on what we want to be true.

You never make an empirical argument and go solely on emotion.

I would suggest the exact opposite is true.

Suggesting that the American population isn't FIERCLY polarized and divided is
as perfect an example of reality denial that I could possibly imagine.

I would think that every sentient person on the continent recognizes the divide by casual observation without looking for it.
It's staring you in the face, but it seems that you
just don't want to believe it.

That's how it seems to me. You have a different view. We won't resolve it here.

I see no analysis of power.
