TROLLS

Russian political scientists hypothesized that US could be dismembered by leaning on cracks. Trolls say:

1) Secession the "American way."
2) Texas "not worth having" (actually contains more anti-Trump voters than New England, not evident because of "winner takes all")
TROLLS say [continued]

3) If state left US, it would be because all its citizens decided [actually gerrymandered legislature decided]
4) We can provide abortions on sovereign Native rez [setting them up for attack, and did I say "sovereign"?]
5) Fed lands, SCOTUS would overrule.
TROLLS say [continued]

6) Democracy is dead [Actually democracy, which is grassroots self-organization, has not been this alive in decades]
7) Ok then. Representative government is dead. [No, just dirty. Periodically our democracy rises into it to scrub it.]
TROLLS say [continued.

8) Our "experiment with" or "project of" democracy failed. [It's not experiment, not a project. It's our system, currently clawed to pieces, kind of like US Pacific fleet in 1941. Darned if we didn't rebuild it, better, and win. Rosie the Riveter, attack!]
TROLL junk....
9) Trump wins! [He's losing his shirt]
10) The American people are...here, insert something negative [not the majority of us. Quit blaming everybody or the flag or the Constitution. Discern who the problem actually is and let's pull together.]
TROLL junk

11) Our motto is "In God We Trust." We're a Christian nation. [Since 1776 motto has been "Out of Many, One." Or as 1791 KY motto puts it, "United We Stand, Divided, We Fall." We're based in the Enlightenment not any religion. Other junk is from the McCarthy era.]
