Irreconcilable differences has long been a valid reason for a married couple to divorce. I think it’s time for a National divorce. The Right and Left in this country have nothing left which hold us together. No principles in common. No values shared. We used to butt heads over how best to get where we wanted to go, but generally agreed on the destination. Things like equal justice before the law, judging people on character rather than skin color, a reverence for the Bill or Rights, the nuclear family as a primary building block, and pride in our country used to hold us together. Now we can’t even agree on the 1st Amendment to the Constitution.
So we literally have nothing in common any more. Our goals and aspirations are diametrically opposed. And their seems to be no way to reconcile our differences. Keeping us together is just making us both miserable. A National divorce would be an awkward and difficult thing. I honestly have no idea what it might look like. But we need to start thinking seriously about having one, while there is still a chance our break can be amicable.
