It has been my opinion that the division is so great in the U.S. that there is no way to bridge the divide. Our differences are too stark to be able to compromise.
The democratic atheistic liberal left have shown throughout Trump's presidency that they cannot live under the republican Christian conservative right's rule. They have created chaos the whole time. Now we conservatives find ourselves under the heel of the liberal left and so talk of secession is to be expected.
We are at a place where there will eventually be war or submission. In other words, one side will have to be willing to submit to the heel of the other. As I said, the democrats have shown that they will not submit. They will do whatever it takes to take over power and create chaos. Once Harris takes office, and you see the laws coming down that she will bring, you will most likely see the same response from the conservative right.
As for Social Security and Medicare, under the Harris administration, how long will it last anyway? In other words, the Biden/Harris presidency will destroy that which keeps the lid on this seething cauldron of division. Once people have nothing to lose anymore any way, they more willingly turn toward war.
The left have already labeled the conservatives as evil people. Deplorables. Racists. This sets the tone for future physical persecution. I know many will say it can't happen here. But, just watch.
Because the division is too great, war is inevitable. If the U.S. was smart it would see that and create some form of secession for the States to have by removing much of the Federal control and giving it back to the States. You could still have a voluntary union of States, that operated more on their own desires than that of the Federal govt.
Biden/Harris know that war is possible. Why do you think they will immediately go after the guns. Of course it will be for 'good reasons'. For the benefit of the people. All these poor people just keep dying from guns. etc. etc. Thus the Covid shutdown will also play a role in trying to keep people separated. No union of people to get together and create a formidable force. No meetings where you talk and unite against them. Especially those pesky right wing Christians.
