Well, the point isn't to stop the social and political division. The point is stop the geopolitical precariousness.
> My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone, I would also do that.
I would suggest that our geopolitical precariousness comes from our social divisions. I doubt Russia, China, or anyone else will ever be able to invade.
But if the losers of globalism keep getting purposefully shortchanged I can more easily foresee them deciding to change the system by force.
I don't think that's a terribly likely outcome, but much more likely than Red Dawn.
Our social divisions means they don't have to invade in order to unseat the U.S. as a global superpower.
