On this "verge" for 40 years. The time to sound the alarms and take action was when republicans made no secret of what their plans were. Oh wait, some did. And were told they were paranoid alarmists because (fill in the blank) would never happen in the US. Well, we were warned 40,35,30,25, 20, 15, 10 and especially 5 years ago. Too bad there was no one listening then. It's easier to prevent a fire than it is to put out one already in full blaze.
