Even if we could meet halfway and compromise on things, this is how the world used to work. Divisiveness is precisely the problem with everything these days.

I read an article recently about soft succession here in the US. It was quite interesting. I guess it's already underway. The Democratic governors are meeting regularly together to figure out ways to self-govern independent of the Republican leadership in Washington.

The author of the article believes this could lead to a full-on succession that would look like something similar to this map. Honestly, considering the striking differences in ideas and opinions this is the only path forward I see unless some miracle happens. I'm working on a post about this very thing now.
