The way you describe American history as "centuries" like we're the Roman Empire or Egypt when we've only got 2.5 centuries to choose from.
Being a continuation of England more or less, you've got more. Especially since those democratic traditions were pretty English in the beginning.
Fair but my point still stands. We've been here a long time and though much worse times. (The US civil war comes to mind)
I mean hey you're right, we're still here...but we'd really REALLY like to prevent a second one of those...From the reviews I've read it wasn't a fun time for pretty much anybody involved.
There is no chance of a second civil war. The current "crisis" is artificial and brought on by the media.
