Bub...those are all good questions...damn good questions. I don't have all the answers, but I can outline some of the problems.
Yes, you are right. this is not Tip O'Neill's dems any longer. A big chunk of the Dem's base is composed of misfits, lowlife, anarchists and the mentally ill...

Bigots and Racists - the definition of a bigot is the textbook definition of a democrat...a bigot is a person who is intolerant toward those holding different opinions.
Peace Activists - What is wrong with peace? Nothing, as long as we live in a fantasy world. In the real world when peace activists won't fight when the time comes to defend the country...the country will die.
Individually they are nothing, but as a group they overwhelm the reps.
We had the formula for the American success story and TPTB decided to shit on that formula and destroy America. Now, it was not all dems that had the diarrhea, reps are to blame for some of it as well. But reps part is on the greed part of the formula, while the dems part, which is the majority, is about the complete destruction of traditional American values as well as bankrupting America.
For instance...all this banking crap was figured out way back when. But, greed took over and they changed the laws / regulations to make more money and that weakened and eventually destroyed the banking system.
There is no mystery or magic involved. You run America as it was founded by the Constitution and Bill of Rights. You don't put self-loathing, white hating, filthy virtue signaling, commie dems in charge of the cities and D.C.. If you do that, then you got the America we have today...which is a country headed for implosion. And that not only goes for the cities, it is D.C., the schools, universities and the rest.
America only worked...when it worked.
Once you gave up the Constitution and Bill of Rights it was all over for America. Once you have a 2-tier justice system, that the dems have weaponized to be used as their jackboots, it was all over for America of old. Our current system is weaponized against conservatives and is based on anarcho-tyranny. If you don't know what that is...it IS America in 2023. Anarcho-tyranny means the police will not be there to save you...the police will be there to arrest you.
Bub, back in the 1970's they had a guy named Joe Karbo that would take out full page $7,000 ads in the Sunday L.A. Times Newspaper to sell his book on how to get rich. In the ad he would say...'Most people are too busy earning a living to get rich'...or some such thing. That is how it is today when it comes to people reacting to political corruption. Most people are too busy just trying to get by and hold their family together than do anything meaningful with fighting political corruption.
It is catawampus thinking on anyone's part that thinks there is any way out of this mess other than secession. As well as for those that say 'pray harder' or call your congressperson' and vote! The dems won the popular vote 7 out of the last 8 presidential elections. Fixing this mess falls under the auspices of...if we could of...we would of. Of course, you will have the people that say don't worry, the pendulum will swing back. Sometimes the clock stops and the pendulum stops swinging.
If that was a guarantee of salvation that we continually swing back and forth, we would not have to watch the news like it is life or death. And with dems in control...every day is like life or death. And even if the reps get back in, they seldom repair anything in a meaningful way. We had Trump for 4 years and complete control of D.C. for 2 years. And we are in the worst shape the country has been in since the founding. The dems make tremendous headway at destroying America. Reps don't fix the mess...all they do is just slow the destruction down.
Reddit r/Collapse had a political leanings poll. Do you see where conservatives are on the list?
Here are the results on 2.26.23
7.8k votes cast
1.2k Liberal
349 Conservative
588 Libertarian
3.4k Socialist
840 Moderate
1.4k Anarchist
That is what happened, bub. We've LOST! This is our future...and even worse!
Now, some people say secession is a dirty word and want to call it a separation. Whatever you call it, you MUST be able to remove yourself from being under the thumb and rule of the filthy dems. It is not like life in the Conservative Union of States would be perfect. But old America is gone. What you have to judge is how things would be under perpetual dem rule and being disarmed...not what life in old America was like.
There is a price to pay for the curing of any disease. You will either have to pay that price or die from the ailment. The only problem is our politicians are incompetent fools and I've read that secession just can't happen. Too complex and illegal...it is just a pipe dream. If we had a strong Gov. they would kick out the states that are in violation of the Constitution and Bill of Rights. If so, the conservative states would not have to contemplate secession.
But if grandma had balls...she would be grandpa. And if shit was Shinola, you wouldn't have to buy shoe polish. You can do anything with if. We need some real answers soon, not iffy, pie in the sky dreams or the dems will perpetually control all 50 states.
We've seen in real time that progressives only get progressively worse. It is the same with any mental illness unless it is treated. There are only 3 directions we can go. We can get better, stay the same or get worse. Sure, we can self-balkanize, but this is the score. You can run away as far as you like...but you are only as safe as your last election.
