Justly so...I keep going back to Hamiltons response (NOT the Broadway hit) when asked what the Founding Fathers had wrought, i.e.  a monarchy or a Republic...and the response was "a republic madam....IF you can keep it".

We are in an "If you can keep it moment".... With, in my view,  a relatively ineffective hierarchy that bought into pelvic stuff at the quite possibly  price of the Republic...

We are geographically a torn country with somewhere over 65% of CA and the West Coast as well as part of the East coast are for Hillary...I understand she is now at  1.7 million more than Trump in the popular vote and still counting and as a third generation Californian I would not be adverse to separation (tacky as that thought is ..and we contribute Trillions  to the Feds and do not get proportionate return).

Most seriously of all...we have very sadly tapped into a really ugly substructure of our body politic that is reminiscent of Germany in the 30s.
