A House Once Again Divided

With the resignation of Justice Kennedy, we come to the great separation between the wheat and the chaff, the sheep and the goats regarding what it is to be an American.

Americans who support Donald Trump BECAUSE of who he is are beyond recovery and must be "encouraged" to go back under their rock.

Americans who, based on legitimate grievances against the Powers That Be, support Donald Trump IN SPITE OF who he is must have their cause championed and their motivations changed from fear to a realistic hope for redress.

The fault line is not Republican vs. Democrat nor conservative vs. liberal but a collection of nativist, racists, isolationists, protectionists, ethno-centrists, and conspiracists vs. Republicans, Democrats, conservatives, liberals, and independents who recognize the hostile takeover of the Republican party for what it is: America's shadow self that, in difficult times, can be summoned by fear-mongering and lies to come out from under their rock to empower the narcissistic demagogues who use them.
America has been here before and while at no time in its history could anything be taken for granted, the track record is shows us muddling through in our own sweet time (see 10 Overturned Supreme Court Cases (How Stuff Works) )

"Roy Marcus Cohn (/koʊn/; February 20, 1927 – August 2, 1986) was an American attorney. During Senator Joseph McCarthy's investigations into Communist activity in the United States during the Second Red Scare, Cohn served as McCarthy's chief counsel and gained special prominence during the Army–McCarthy hearings.

"Cohn was also known for being a U.S. Department of Justice prosecutor at the espionage trial of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg and later for representing President Donald J. Trump during his early business career. He was disbarred by the Appellate Division of the New York State Supreme Court for unethical conduct in 1986.[2] He died less than two months later."
