America needs a divorce with itself, Garrison Keillor

America needs a divorce with itself, Garrison KeillorArticle – Garrison Keillor believes the Trumpers and the Hillarians cannot co-exist, that no matter how hard President Obama tells us the office changes the man, it does not ring true.

“The man is 70. He has no ideas, no beliefs. His philosophy is simple: when he itches, he scratches.”

It seems the Hamilton brouhaha set Garrison Keillor off to explain:

“The Trump faction will boycott chamber music concerts, wine tastings, lectures on Byzantine art and poetry readings, and Hillarians will boycott NFL games, casinos, gun shows and demolition derbies.”

Keillor suggests we split up as we did back in 1860 [for similar reasons.]

“So let’s bind up our wounds and have an amicable divorce. Democrats get the Northeast and the West Coast, plus a few miscellaneous states, and the Democratic cities — D.C., Dallas, Houston, New Orleans, Miami, Raleigh-Durham, Cleveland, and so forth. Call it the Union. Our capital will, of course, be New York City. Trump takes the Confederacy and the Corn Belt. Call it Trump Country.”

Tongue in cheek or not, this article  Garrison Keillor: E pluribus duo – it’s time for post-Trump America to divide was at it’s core the same thing I wrote 10 years ago in coming to terms with my disappointment in the 2004 election in which the so called intelligent voting public voted for a known idiot a second time.
