This country cant survive as a 50-state entity. Its far too divided now. Great nations have formed and later divided throughout history. A peaceful transition to a two or three-region division is going to have to be sought and achieved. Liberal states led by the heavily populated behemoths of CA and NY dont want to coexist peacefully with the conservative bastions of this country; they want to destroy and rule them with an iron fist.
America of the 1950s is over and done with; theres no going back.
Agreed. We absolutely must realize that, really, our goals are wrong. We would like to think we could preserve our values of Liberty and Individualism but these things have been eroded so much as to be historical concepts. The age where grandma and grandpa lived next door or even under the same roof are long gone. For over 90% of America I am guessing grandpa is at least three states away and seen for a few days or hours a year. While we all have safes full of guns and reloading benches capable of reloading a dozen calibers how many of us have grandchildren that understand how or even the importance of these skills. We cant return to an earlier era that probably was not what we thought it was even though we lived through it. I mean, I was 5 years old in the 50s. What did I really know about them even though I was there? Trump is just a transient disturbance for the Deep State, as far as they are concerned.

Multiple regions are easily subverted. Set one against the other, first. If three emerge, then what alliances will subsequently form until it is 2 against one?
We have rules, laws and institutions. We need to activate them, fight for internal control within them and prepare for a period of discomfort and chaos while we do so.
Today, we are under a weather emergency. Not only is it brutally cold outside, for many people, this week-ten days of freezing temps will result in financial hardship indoors as people choose between next months utility bills and immediate needs for food, fuel and medication.
This will galvanize a very few, who are likely already aware and prepared. The rest will only remember until the bills are finally paid and they will go back to being hypnotized.
I fear the coming struggle is beyond the majority. All solutions, except girded loins and ice cold determination to persevere by whatever means are at hand, are flawed if they rely on a mass uprising and sustainable struggle.
I just do not see the bodies willing to put themselves on the line.
