America is dysfunctional, and it is becoming more so because of Conservatives. It is like this song:
This song by Eminem and Rihanna is about a relationship being destroyed by a self-sustaining death spiral of strife and domestic violence. If you look at the relationship between Conservatives and anyone to the left of their ideology, it is playing out across the country just like this song. In fact, the sequester that threatens to devastate America this Friday on March 1st is clearly analogous to Eminem talking about setting the bed on fire with his girlfriend in it.
How much more of this can America take?
The truth is, if we're going to stay a united country, this political version of rampant domestic violence will continue, with Republicans tearing the walls down and setting things on fire, until finally, one time, America won't avert a total economic catastrophe. Whether it comes this Friday or it comes at some other time, this disastrous economic collapse is inevitable. The Conservative movement will drive America to collapse: in fact, it is their explicit intent to do so.
Nobody wants to talk about cutting Conservatives loose. So instead what we will eventually do is talk about America as a nation ruined by hyper-austerity and economic collapse.
The only solution for dealing with a habitual domestic abuser is to remove them from the household, or to leave. Likewise, the only way to deal with 60 million people who voted for Mitt Romney is to split the country and cut these kooks loose. If you believe that dividing America in half is a terrible option, it is. But it's even more terrible to keep these domestic abusers around when at any given time they could burn the bed with you - namely, the working class 99% - lying in it.
Split America or watch the whole country burn. There is no third option left.
