Stephan:   I think it is very important that those who have a socially progressive world view recognize that the Great Schism Trend has reached a point where it is almost irreconcilable. It is my view that Special Counsel Mueller could come forward with indictments from his grand juries and it will make not a whit of difference to the Christofascists who are the supporters of Trump. They don't care what he does, as long as he supports the issues about which they are obsessed: control of women, White supremacy politics, and their fantasies about returning to an America (which never actually existed but they fantasize it did). In their ideal world women and people of color "know their place," men are dominant, and there should be no firewall between church and state so that America becomes a Christian kingdom. You may think all of this is laughable but I assure you Trumpers will create civil violence over these issues. It is too early to be sure, but I am beginning to suspect that we are seeing the first steps in what I believe is the long term political and social trend of the United States: power devolves to the states and they go their different ways, with the Blue value states prospering, and the Red value states become ever more degraded and angry.
