Whoever wins this coming election there are going to be huge problems with the losing side accepting. It's going to widen the already gaping rift considerably.

We can see just how weak the union between left and right is. Rifts that have always existed now have a major looming potential to be a catalyst for break up.

For me, outside of the beginnings of a split from this election result. the second amendment looks to be the most obvious contender.

The shooting in Kenosha highlights the huge cultural difference in attitude towards the second amendment. In the video I've seen the shootings are self defence, however the guy has been charged with intentional homicide in the Democratic state.

Republican states are not going to implement Democratic ideas on gun control. The Democrats will try to be sneaky and try to inch it forward but it isn't going to work.

Just like the civil war was about more than just slavery, the coming split will be more than just gun control but perhaps it will be the deciding issue.

If it happens and it's probable we'll see China take immediate advantage.....Russia too, where it can.

If I were Taiwan right now I'd be investing heavily in defence....I should check it out perhaps they have.

Israel and the middle east as well would be in an interesting position.

The world would soon come to realise just how important US power was to keeping the peace in different world regions.

The left sneer but eventually they are going to find out.

It is the hysteria that is scary. Akin to an almost religious mania. And they are white, doing that to another white person. That is the conflict. Not black v white.

That is why this is so dangerous and why the notion of 'civil' war is more relevant than race.

The biggest pill by a huge margin I have taken in the last few months is the white one.

Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance.
