I realized overnight that our founding is irrelevant now. Tall tales about honor and valor in 1776 make no difference at all now.

The United States IS the electorate. That means the United States IS:

Hip hop, swinging couples, gays slurping each other openly and proudly, Latinos with a somewhat Palestinian view of America, and sexually deviant professionals.

The wholesome America of farming, and living with values is now the 49% and shrinking. Even if a conservative wins in 2016 after a disaster for the next 4 years, it will be the last conservative president, because austerity here will be 10 times worse than in Europe. Wanna see riots? Try austerity in the form of eliminating welfare out of necessity.
