It existed in the past because people were patriotic and believed that it deserved to exist. Now that patriotism is at an all time low, I don't see how people will be motivated to keep the US together.

Patriotism is low because neither side likes the US as it is. It's the one thing they can agree on. The problem is that the sides can't agree at all on what it should be.
(Edited to reply to Bienhalde as well, rather than making a second post.)

My point wasn't to act like "I'm kind enough to tolerate this thing that aligns with my interests", it was to say "at least I have the brains to know that terrorism and imperialism isn't as bad as outright genocide".How benevolent of you.Juansonia wrote:I only tolerate NATO's organisational existence because Putin's administration is the greater evil.
