Yep, it's a low intensity civil war, as Tom Woods describes it.
That's one of the main reasons I'm so in favor of National Divorce. Why make people who want opposite policies all live under one policy set?
I think the resistance to this idea is currency bias. Many people just can't envision something different. They falsely assume you can go back. I mean a weaker federal gov is a middle ground but I don't see that happening as both parties will not weaken the executive branch.
I kinda chuckle at conservatives that are running victory laps now. Do they not think about the next time a dem wins and uses the same powers to reverse all these changes... I chuckle at the dems for doing the same thing. Freaking out about Trump while seeking to give the state more power over their lives.
It is so obviously stupid. If it were abstracted outside of the nation state people could actually have a chance to see it.

Executive orders can all be undone, but there's no way to put this toothpaste back in the tube.
