Because you now did it to yourself.
I know Americans get upset when I say this to them but honestly, I think it’s the time the United States broke up, it’s too big, it’s too powerful, and as soon as someone like him gets in charge everything goes to shit.
If the United States was smaller it wouldn’t matter as much if a random dictator got in charge of a small bit of it.
As an American, I’m in agreement with that in concept. Partition would be a harrowing process though, as people scramble to go where they feel they belong. I’m not sure such a process could happen without another civil war.
Czechs and Slovaks managed to do it in a civilised manner only 30 years ago, so it’s not impossible.
I was saying this the last time around. America is too big and the parties are too polarized, the federal government can’t fairly represent all of its constituents at once. At any given time, half of the population is being underrepresented.
