Start Here, Read the Rest

Codevilla again:

...The overriding question of 2016 has been how eager the American people are to reject the bipartisan class that has ruled this country contrary to its majority’s convictions. Turned out, eager enough to throw out the baby with the dirty bathwater. The ruling class’s united front in response to the 2008 financial crisis had ignited the Tea Party’s call for adherence to the Constitution, and led to elections that gave control of both houses of Congress to the Republican Party. But as Republicans became full partners in the ruling class’s headlong rush in what most considered disastrous directions, Americans lost faith in the Constitution’s power to restrain the wrecking of their way of life....

That's the first "money" quote from a long-ish essay on the death of the American Republic.  As usual, Codevilla names names and points to events, including the Civil Rights Act of '64, which have served to topple the US' former order.

It is NOT co-incidence that small-arms sales have a near-straight-up trajectory in the last 8 years, folks.  Just make sure you have plenty of ammo to go with.
