3. The disease is the divide in America

We are two Americas and they are going different directions.

Liberal America is in major metro areas and has been thriving and evolving in all aspects
Conservative America is everywhere else and has been stagnant economically and socially

As the gap grows so does the tension. It will only get worse

conservatives have been fully motivated for a couple decades and depend on lackluster voting by democrats...and we gave them this opportunity.

2018 is coming and its up to us

We have some big things facing us. First
Sessions will never stand up to Bannon. He must not be confirmed.
Second, Tillerson should never be confirmed as SOS. The coup would be completed upon his ascension to SOS.
