There is a verse in Isaiah “Can a land go through a birth in a single day, can a nation be born in a single breath,” [Isaiah 66.8] and I think the opposite is true that a land and nation can sunset by a million cuts, and seems as if the days we see all this unfolding in front of our eyes hastens faster every 24 hours. Your analysis is correct - my opinion. We’re all retreating to our respective tribes. We are all convinced of the rectitude of what we think and what we want to believe is/are written on the Tablet. I am 73.5, I want to live long enough to see how all this unfolds. I am a most disappointed and disheartened Democrat, and I know for a fact that most of my close peers were once Democrats. Check into what just occurred in Mecklenburg County in NC, a former Democrat switching parties in the NC House making it a veto proof Republican majority. I am not alone. Sad, very sad.

Totally tragic and unsustainable :(
Chuck Todd has talked about this a lot, and how maybe gerrymandering is needed for another reason- to make districts more competitive.
