I think events of the last few weeks and the kinds of zeitgeist in the air online over everything from movies to community events, speaks to the fact that we are DONE as a unified nation. If anything we are effectively Balkanized to the point that violence and breakup is inevitable, if not wholesale slaughter if the rhetoric of these mobs on all sides is considered. We are the divided peoples in the states, fractured along grievous fault lines of politics, gender, race, religion and sexual behavior.
I do not remember a time when families and even churches broke apart and hated one another, simply over whom voted for whom.
