it will simply splinter, much as the tea party has fractured the Republicans into camps right now. Who knows, maybe we are already there? I just know that I, and many others, are likely to not budge on certain issues, politically, until the United States of America is restored to some kind of functioning democracy...if a former POTUS says we no longer have one, it should shock the conscience of every American...it's something I never, in my wildest imagination, could ever have imagined, yet here we are. :/
