That's how we got here.. Democratic irrationality... You're 50% right.The Annoyed Man wrote: Actually, there IS a way. . . . . .but no rational person would choose it as the first resort. It's called the 2nd Amendment. When it is time to lose it, it is time to use it. But democrats, not being able to play their folly forward to see where it leads, are not rational and do not make rational decisions. So we may end up having that last resort forced upon us.
The 2nd amendment is already lost. It was designed to be uninfringed, but we've got states and municipalities where firearm possession is illegal.. How it's still considered valid, I dunno.
We've got a government of professional politicians who are demographically and financially elite. There is so much partisanship that sides are being driven to more and more radical steps, resulting in further un-balance. We can't get approval of basic appointments, often not because there is disagreement of the appointment itself, but because that agreement is being held for ransom for some other piece of the political pie. The problems originate from both sides of the political spectrum, not just one, and are exacerbated by law makers who are set for life.
We've never seen so much gridlock...
