America is divided. With one single exception, every state is entirely under the control of one party or the other. A large part of this divide is being driven by big money propping up the Republican Party so that they can get lower taxes and less protections for the public, also known as regulations. But a large part of it is also being pushed by Catholics and evangelicals around abortion, the NRA around guns, and bigotry in the form of "opposition to gay marriage," school choice to keep white schools white, etc. The big question, as this all tears America apart, is how can we bring this country together?

And will democracy survive the process?
