Things occur so quickly in the United States that a mere mortal has difficulty keeping up. Everyday a new crisis occurs; indictments, gun rights, environment, immigration, wars and support for the combatants, approvals of a budget and marches on the Capitol. One thing that is clear is that the disagreements dividing the United States into rival camps continue and will continue into the future. These divisions have long existed in the form of the Ku Klux Klan; John Birch Society and the anti-immigrant America First group of the 1930s which was supported by the likes of Henry Ford and Charles Lindbergh. The recent presidential election has allowed these groups to come out of the shadows and into prominence.

The country seems hopelessly divided between city and rural, educated elites vs "working man", whites vs people of color, and wishes for democracy and autocracy. These divisions are notably apparent in the Red States vs Blue States. It is clear that a reckoning must occur, possibly in the next decade. The 250-year-old Constitution the founding fathers presented us with has begun to appear hopelessly dated allowing minority rule to become the rule rather than the exception. Most of the recent presidents have achieved less votes than their opponents. It is hard to imagine that a democratic country can continue to survive this way and a probable separation between Blue and Red States is needed.
