Things we cannot be bothered by anymore

No land with very polarized ideologies has stayed as a unified land/entity for too long (in the history of humanity)..

Major powers constantly produce disinformation campaigns to weaken each other in that regard (divide & conquer). Relatively simple minded critters that form the majority of a population don't have much choice in the matter, except fall for it..requires more intuition and iq to look through it. 

Some cultures are more resilient, some are not.

Vote for throughtful and maybe even compassionate centrists/moderates willing to listen to more points of view.

@deep_333 I agree.  It's hard to get diverse populations to get along much less see eye to eye.   But that's pretty much what this country is about and supposedly makes it great and a place diverse peoples want to live in...all that melting pot stuff.  Maybe we are doomed to fail in the end, or maybe we truly are "great" and make it so.   Nothing lasts forever.  THat much is for sure.

If the US splits in the near future, it will probably be based on right wing or left wing ideology...not religion, race or ethnicity.

The US is not some one of a kind cultural melting pot. Melting pots have existed in different parts of the world for thousands of years (India, Africa, etc).

" Nothing lasts forever ". How do you know it, man ?

Regretting telling my wife it's called menopause because mad cow disease was taken. I mean, what happened to forgive and forget??!
