History doesn't Repeat exactlt but Rhymes. So the Southern DemocRats of the War for Southern Independence a re 180 degrees philosophically from the Bolsehvik democRats of today. Yet these current democRats are actually in "secession" from the "Republican" Trump Presidency.

If/When these democRats take over the presidencty again they will become "Unionists" and America 1st MAGA will look to secession to survive.

The dissolution of the US will occur as there is no longer a common bond between the people, with many divisions seeking dominance of the other, and unwilling to live under the dominance of the others. This is what happens in a Demoncrazy, Irreconcilabe Differences and Divorce.

The USA is no longer a Republic and hasn't been for decades. We are now a Demoncrazy, a USSA Empire in decline, despite this brief 2nd respite with a 2nd President Trump administration.

Even as a 3X Voter for Trump, as a historian, I recognize the historical Cycle of Life of individuals also applies to empires. Also no predictions on How much longer will I be alive either. :-)

A "Union" maintained by Force may linger for many decades, over a century, but is subject to having old wounds opened for political purposes. The democRats destruction of the Confederate statues and graves eradicates the Reconciliation that occured by 1890's. It's Not about the Confederacy; It's about "ReconciliationS" even being considered in this current society, that horse is out of the barn.

Si vis pacem para bellum, the USSA will collapse, don't cry at it's departure, Look to the Future, a possibility of Restoring a Republic and modeling the Original Constitution.

Given the media propaganda that has pervaded our society since the Civil War the democracy’s gave rewritten history in their favor. By that I mean they were the ones who demanded slavery continue. The Republicans (Lincoln) saw slavery as a political chip to play. Then the Republican Party Members took up the challenge. Democrats have always Lied.
