    We can only hope that old Lindsey Graham quote is true,
    “If we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed … and we will deserve it.”

      Unfortunately, the “we” in that sentence applies to the whole nation at this point.

      We are literally seeing the decline of an empire. America’s last days are ahead. When we abandon representation and abandon rule-of-law the way we have, we have no future.

      Not saying we shouldn’t redistrict in response, we literally have to in order to keep states from being bullied into submission, but this process, as it snowballs, will be one of the most pivotal points that students will have to understand in the history books.

      Except it feels like the opposite is happening. I mean, here he is at round 2 of a presidency. Nobody learned anything, and there’s certainly not been any destruction. Everything has been swept under the rug.

      It will eventually come true, but the U.S. is going to suffer a lot of pain before it happens.
