Long but worthy essay from Angelo Codevilla who introduced us to the terms 'ruling class' versus 'country class'.
Essentially it is his analysis of what some of us have known for awhile: there is no reconciling a people so divided that either bloodshed and violence will be our perpetual future, or permanent separation after a bloody conflict. His hope is for a peaceable separation in states that welcome Communism, so long as they leave the rest of us alone.
We know that will never happen, because if there is anything Leftism has taught us - is that they have a right to all your shit and that the only reason you have any prosperity is because of your privilege which they think they are morally obligated to end and reverse.
Our Revolution’s Logic
Angelo Codevilla
Unattainable, and gone forever, is the whole American Republic that had existed for some 200 years after 1776. The people and the habits of heart and mind that had made it possible are no longer a majority. Progressives made America a different nation by rejecting those habits and those traditions. As of today, they would use all their powers to prevent others from living in the manner of the Republic. But, perhaps, after their offensive resistance’s failure, they might be reconciled to govern themselves as they wish in states where they command a majority, while not interfering with other Americans governing themselves in their way in the states where they are a majority.
