Why NOT to vote Republican

I am not worried about the US splitting up, either, with a caveat. If Lincoln was able to hold the Union together despite wide cultural differences in the mid-1800s, we can do the same. As long as we have a leader like Lincoln.

I’m a cockeyed optimist who doesn’t see massive sentiment for the 55/45 states splitting off from the 45/55 states. Nor do I see budding fascist dictatorships or theocracies getting much traction in the real world either. Maybe I just don’t spend enough time in social media reality to see all the signs and portents.

You need to wake up ... What do you think Jan 6th was about?... fascism for sure. What about the trump supreme court justices who said they would not repeal Roe and did it anyway? Not hard to fathom that was a religious opinion for at least the handmaiden (and probably the others). Yeah, both fascist dictatorship and theocracy.

Why do you think Democratic Senators have been asking that question during confirmation hearings for the past 30 years? It's because they all know it didn't meet constitutional muster. What you should be asking is why the liberal justices, knowing Roe was damaged, didn't concur with the majority.

I think you should put a little more effort into your 'fathoming'.

As I recall, Lincoln did not in fact hold the Union together. The country split, there was a rather violent civil war, cities were burned, and hundreds of thousands of people died.

Why do I get the impression that Rob salivates for this kind of activity?

Czechoslovakia split into the Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic peacefully.

Our 19th Century split would have been peaceful as well if the north hadn't invaded the south.

Your impression us very much incorrect. I'm just a hard core realist is all. And I do believe long term the US is better served splitting up. Rob

[gimmethesimplelife]

Should have been is very much incorrect.

I don’t think it’s in this country’s best interest to split and don’t believe it will happen.
