    Does the US face a civil war in coming years due to structural issues that encourage minority rule? Read this essay by Jonathan Taplin. https://harpers.org/archive/2018/11/rebirth-of-a-nation/ … via @Harpers

        If it ever came to it, there doesn’t need to be a 2nd civil war. If white supremest, sexist, racist, anti-American russians want to start their own country, then go. I won’t fight to keep them here. I’m tired of progress being undone or stalled every other election anyway.

        Before we have built in minority/ criminal rule, we will have 1968 anti-war protests, and they will bring Trump's feared mob to life. I'm afraid it's going to take a Kent State or worse or bring about an end to Trump and the Republican crime family.

        It’s been on my mind for years. The hicks have a strangle hold on the Senate and a leg up on the electoral college. (Born and raised hick. Class traitor without shame)

        Liked to read the words we all understand: "the 2016 campaign was a massive con on the working and middle classes" Indeed the minority is ruling our country at this point. I wouldn't underestimate anything Trump might do with the military to keep his personal power and wealth

        Great read! My son-in-law, a staunch conservative who is thoughtful and educates himself on the issues, and I (politically, the polar opposite) were discussing this last week - amazingly, Cromwell was part of our discussion. We were in agreement, for most.

        Well, since majority rule caused a civil war, I can certainly see how minority rule would put some people off.

        No. As much as #Cult45 wants to brag about it, they will not be picking up their guns and fighting other Americans. We are too developed for that.

        Tribalism, a compromised census process, gerrymandered redistricting, voter suppression and overt attacks on free speech, freedom of assembly and the right to petition the government for redress of grievances may work together to create a minority rule state. But it won't stand.

        What would a civil war look like? The wealthy coastal states vs the destitute middle and south? I think a crushing of the center and south would be an amazing outcome! Let's be honest here, it's exactly those states that drag us down, morally and economically.

        It's all about ROI - minority rule means you have to spend less to capture and control the levers of power. It's a critical system failure in a world of instant communication, global finance, and nuclear weapons.

        Great piece! Shows the need to repeal Citizens United and eliminate the Electoral college! I especially liked the comparison of trump and Cromwell. Cromwell's head ended up on a pike outside parliament!
