I don’t think it can be fixed as a single nation where the political philosophies of socialism and capitalism based on individual liberty are mutually exclusive. The only thing that can fix it is de-federalization with all the power and money returned back to the states. The federal government should not be involved in anything that doesn’t involve defense, international trade, and interstate commerce….you know, actually follow the articles of the constitution. People need to be free to associate with others of their choice in political systems that reflect their core values, which were once done state by state. The migration and intermixing of people destroyed this natural balance. Forcing everybody from all communities of interest to do the same thing is idiocy. I really don’t care if California and New York surrender their freedoms or not as long as they don’t force me to do the same.
