      Balkanisation might honestly be the only solution; but that would involve the US giving up its current position as the only remaining global superpower.

      It’s not ending any time soon. The US supreme court will remain a theocratic conservative majority for most of our lives. Regardless of how old you are. You will be quite old by the time that changes.

        A brave-enough Congress could overhaul the Supreme Court, as they had in the past.

        Unfortunately that level of courage is missing from most current politicians.

      Not that I’m trying to pawn off our responsibilities, but I think part of that change needs to come from the rest of the world putting us in our place. Quit bending the knee and letting us get away with murder. Sanction our asses.

        Cuba is illegal in the Untied States. All other countries should outlaw the Untied States, make it illegal to go there and illegal to possess anything made there, until the Untied States behaves itself.

      A complete overhaul is the prerequisite for this nightmare to be over.

        And that overhaul is both far away and likely to be extremely painful.

        I always tell Americans to just try to get out. Failing that, it’s about surviving and not making the situation even worse in the process.
