Is it this way because America is just too damned big to be unified in purpose and motion?
Is is simply because the under-educated have been radicalized by the propagandists?
Think of the strife and contention. Not just of our civil war era, but of the last seventy years plus since the end of WW2.
We could have been a continuing force for good in the world.
This great fall did not begin with Trump.
But this is conservatives' last chance to keep power in the inevitable changing demographics.
How do we get through this? How do we deal with the crazy berserkers that Trump has unleashed? Push them back into their holes? They will still fester there.

No GW. A sane and rational adult dealing with 9/11 and climate change.
No setting fire to the middle east. Actually going after the real suspects instead of just rounding up anyone and throwing them in Gitmo.
Adults in charge. What a concept.
How to get there from here with a tyrant in the White House? I don't know for sure.

I also think the Electoral College had an original noble purpose but it is now very much working against the interests of America.
