alt Hacker NewsI don't understand. And as far as the can tell, the only thing preventing total war is the belief that it might be possible to fix it next year.
And no matter who wins, the other side will be convinced it was by cheating. And that has no alternative but total war.
I have looked long and hard for an alternative but I'm not seeing one.

Peaceful secession perhaps? Long shot but it seems like the least distasteful outcome.

The solution is to decrease your high investment in the politics show, and put your energy where it matters - the people around you, yourself. Do something real instead.

And the knowledge that you cannot win when the other side controls the armed forces, the FBI, and all the governing institutions, a lot of states entirely too, and is clearly willing (and maybe even eager) to use them? The president and the people behind him probably look forward to their opponents trying. I think this "total war" might be very short.
