CPAC Just Decided to Not Let Any US Journalists Inside

24. That's our problem, IMNSHO

We're not getting serious about this crap on our side. We're going to let democracy slip through our fingers, I'm afraid, by being too nice and playing by the rules that no one else is playing by. They're playing for keeps while we play by Hoyle. What's it going to take to get the PTB who can actually make a damn difference to do something? I mean REALLY do something meaningful? We can't even get much more than a slap across the hand for people who beat cops, tear up our Congress building, try to overthrow our government, and kill our representatives! And I'm not even talking about the ringleaders here... I'm talking about the lowlife dumbshit magatypes. We've got the ability to stack the SCOTUS and we aren't doing a damn thing about it. Just do it. The repugs would. Damn the torpedoes, full steam ahead. Who cares about the rules. Just do it. We're going to have to put it all back together again afterwards, anyway. I see it as one of a few ways:

Either a one state solution after a war, with a lot of dead people and a completely different form of (probably oppressive) government, or...
A two state solution - A Red State Confederacy and a Blue State U.S. with two different forms of government with no shared government, but some sort of treaty, possibly.
A complete brain drain of a country where it's people are desperately trying to escape anyway, anywhere they can, especially to Canada, and/or the South (unless climate change precludes that too quickly). The young I can see fleeing overseas. I'm trying hard to get my kids to flee now while they're still young enough to do it, especially my daughter. The rest of us who are stuck, I can see maybe camping out at the U.N. for assistance and refugee status. I dunno.
