Anyone who thinks we can heal the millions of rabid, ignorant, bottom feeders that @FoxNews has created, is delusional. Never going to happen. And there’s no point is saying another civil war is coming, because it’s been here since @NewtGringrich started it. So … 1/8
what can fix America? I see only one practical path.
Our 19 blue states hold referendums to form a “Subunion” that immediately agrees to co-fund and co-govern their states with:

⏵Free community college … 2/8

They’re even encouraged.
