An excellent essay -- but What Is To Be Done? As Tim Snyder says, "do not surrender in advance."

Hoping for a follow up column.

Best case scenario: A successful soft secession for Blue states; Worst case scenario: An actual civil war, with all that implies. The country is rotten to the core. Some of us need a fresh start.

We have language, we have grace, and we have faith. These are no small things in the fight that besets us.

We have hope.

I think we already have that roadmap too.

Imagine the opposite of the J6 BS: if in Chicago for instance, one protester throws a rock at Guardsmen,

he will simply brand ALL protesters as dangerous, anti-American gang members or insurrectionists, allow shooting and say it was completely justified. GOP in Congress will acquiesce, Dems in Congress will issue a strongly worded letter, Supreme Court majority wil rubber stamp it, and our country will be lost for good.

I truly believe, that is the scenario they have gamed out and are just waiting for an excuse to pull the trigger (so to speak)
