Too Many Now Know

This is a 2012 map and though it doesn't taken in the phony electoral college vote set-up, even if only two states voted red or blue they should be allowed to leave. The current situation does not and will not work. It can be resolved peacefully or otherwise, not that this is something we wish for, recommend,  suggest or hope for. It's simply something one would have to be blind not to see just as were those pundits who wrote off Trump and the appeal his message would have to millions. Call them all the names you want, but we're willing to bet there are just as many intelligent, educated, decent, non-bigoted, creative, non-hateful people among them as there are among you. And yes they're a diverse group, maybe not to your level of diversity ,but that's been the rub all along hasn't it, one group trying to tell the other the way it's going to be?

Kansas is not Indiana or New York.There are boundaries, geographical lines between states for a reason. No one should have to or be told to leave. Today more than ever people want a say in their self-determination. That say can come either peacefully or via violence, again something no thoughtful, loving person would ever wish. The two party system is broke, the separation of powers is broke and the experiment--however magnanimous it was--is now also broke for tens of millions of people,many once know as the middle class.

One could waste energy arguing about who or whom or what destroyed the middle class, but that's now totally irrelevant. As this article shows tampabay.com/blogs/the-buzz-florida-politics/trump-fans-boo-walk-out-on-amy-schumer-in-tampa the gloves are off.  Let's get this party going. It's been a long time in the wind.

There doesn't have to be any riots or even rancor. If Trump loses, the states that vote red could just follow the Brexit lead and quietly opt out of the union. There are no doubt millions of folks who would donate money to pay an exit fee so long as it's not exorbitant.Those who live in the blue states who wish to leave could easily mitigate to the red ones. And vice versa. We could have some real native migration since this would clearly involve people of all races and religions.

Only the hammer and tong people on the left believe this would not involve a wide variety of Americans with different backgrounds, races and creeds and levels of intelligence, education and creativity. This sounds like an idea who time is now no matter who wins this election. At the very least this should be up to the people, not the politicians, bureaucrats and academics.

We've said from the beginning this is the healthiest election in our lifetime, especially when it was reduced to these two final candidates. People no longer need two obviously bankrupt parties to tell them the person who ought to occupy which office. That's an insult to the collective intelligence of this nation no matter how low your once private and now quite public opinion is of them.

Unless you're totally nearsighted and we don't think you are, this will not end with this election. Power might win out in the short run, but truth isn't going anywhere. And now too many people around the globe know the truth.
