It’s going to be, it has to be a bloody moment and the time to process that will stun everyone for a period of time equal to that of 9/11. If an “Obama” is elected afterward the country; the Republic is done. If a “Reagan” type Classic Democrat/Modern Republican is elected maybe we survive another generation but I think the experiment of a Constitutional Republic cannot survive in its current form.
We have exceeded all expectations and WWII only gave us an extension. We fucked it up! Chose the easy path of least resistance and this is the result.

I agree that this is the case and, frankly, I’m surprised it hasn’t occurred, already. I just hope when the “stand” occurs it isn’t by radical folks like those in the various racist-nazi groups. I think the outcome would be much better if it is led by people who are making a stand against oppression of freedom, constitutionally protected rights, etc.
