Are the United States ripe for partition? Francis Herbert Buckley, a lawyer and academic who has taught at McGill and is now at George Mason School of Law, thinks they are. “In all the ways that matter, save for the naked force of the law, we are already divided into two nations just as much as in 1861,” he writes. “The contempt for opponents, the Twitter mobs, online shaming and no-platforming, the growing tolerance of violence — it all suggests we would be happier in separate countries.” ...
Yes, yes, yes, we know we are very divided. But how exactly would this take place?
"alas, only hints at the most compelling reason"
Unfortunately, this says it all.
Unlike the Patriotic Alternative in the UK, we in the US haven't even had the gumption to start are own populist traditionalist party.
