Blir intressant nu vad högsta domstolen gör ger de Trump rätt så måste man börja prata om USA håller på att splittras.
Nja, detta är ju något som varit på gång under
lång, lång tid. När 35-40% av väljarkåren inte ens anser de övriga delarna ens vara amerikaner eller legitimt folkvalda så är det så det blir.

Birtherism, a hoax perpetrated on Americans, is proof positive of the enduring efficacy of the Big Lie, the proposition that people will sooner believe a monumental falsehood than a trivial one, especially if it is repeated often enough. The cost of such a hoax is not only to the truth but also to the democratic process, which is rendered ridiculous by the ensuing debate. Mr. Trump has revealed his own facility with fraud and deceit, and he has also exposed how vulnerable democracy is when confronted with a charlatan-celebrity, bereft of principles and willing to say anything to grab headlines.

North Carolina's 'Legislative Coup' Is Over, and Republicans Won
Legislators passed a slate of bills to sharply reduce the power of the incoming governor, over the heated objections of Democrats and hundreds of protestors.
För den republikanska inställningen till vilka som är "riktiga människor" och vilka som ska "rensas ut" har ju aldrig varit varken särskilt svårtolkad eller blygsam:

“Real Americans” vs. “coastal elites”: What right-wing sneers at city dwellers really mean
If Donald Trump is not an “elite,” then the term is entirely meaningless, as it signifies nothing. Despite the perversion of the word, it has become impossible to read or watch coverage of the 2016 horror show without finding it everywhere. Its operative definition seems to transform, according to who is uttering it, to the point of incoherence. Newt Gingrich, for example, will often decry the “elites,” failing to note the irony that he is a former Speaker of the House, a multimillionaire and a conservative campus speaker who collects five-to-six figures in fees for his appearances.
