Can the polarization between Democrats and Republicans in the U.S. be reversed?

[Rev. Rye]

I don't think so.  As the country slides further down the shitter the republicunts will just get crazier.

Yeah, if the debt ceiling crises of 2011 and 2013 are any indication, when faced with the prospect of the American Economy going bankrupt, they fought tooth and nail to ensure it happened, at least until mere hours before we were to hit the ceiling. It will likely take an alarmingly close brush with a massive disaster for them to compromise, and even then, it will only happen just before the shit totally hits the fan, and after it does, they’re just going to keep on with that they were doing and learn...





Honestly, at this point, a second civil war seems like the next logical step from how shitty the political scene is now. Or at least a second Confederacy. And this time around, the leaders of the new Confederacy aren’t even going to have the sort of valor or military savviness the old Confederates had going for them. If the Proud Boys are any indication, it’d be like going from Erwin Rommel to Oskar Dirlewanger.
