The bitterness, the gridlock, and the growing tolerance of violence invite us to think that we'd be happier were we two different countries. In all the ways that matter, save for the naked force of law, we are already two nations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThere's a second reason why secession beckons. We're over-big, one of the biggest countries in the world. Smaller countries are happier and less corrupt. They're less inclined to throw their weight around militarily, and they're freer. If there are advantages to bigness, the costs exceed the benefits. Bigness is badness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAcross the world, just about every country is staring down a secession movement. Many have already split apart. And are we to think that, almost alone in the world, we're immune from this? Or that the Civil War made secession impossible? If so, \u003cem\u003eAmerican Secession\u003c\/em\u003e explodes those comforting beliefs and shows just how easy it would be for a state to exit the union if that's what its voters wanted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46830034944236,"sku":"9781641770804","price":54.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/14698163482772.jpg?v=1758270530"},{"product_id":"the-secret-code-by-fh-buckley-9781641772532","title":"The Secret Code","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAfter the Democratic Party divided Americans along gender and racial lines, F.H.

It must show how the Democrats have become the party of inequality and immobility and that they created what structural racism exists through their unjust education, immigration, and job-killing policies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRepublicans must seek to drain the swamp by limiting the clout of lobbyists and interest groups. They must also be nationalists, and as American nationalism is defined by the liberal nationalism of our founders, the party must reject the illiberalism of extremists on the Left and Right. As progressives, Republicans must also recognise nationalism's leftward gravitational force and the way in which it demands that the party serve the common good through policies that protect the less fortunate among our countrymen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt a time when the Left asks us to scorn our country, Republicans must also be the conservative party that defends our families, the nobility of American ideals, and the founders' republican virtues.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBy championing these policies, the Republicans will retain the new voters Trump brought to the GOP as well as those who left the party because of him.
