The 2nd American Civil War?

Here is an interesting analysis of current events.  It is a long video but here are a few highlights.  He makes a strong case but then I am biased against government in general and willing to believe the worst of it.  No one wants to surrender power which is why George Washington is great; he surrendered power when he could have been monarch.  He set a precedent that held until FDR, almost 150 years later.  These unelected bureaucrats who have been able to regulate to their hearts content for decades are suddenly forced to repeal 2 regulations for every new one!  That shrinks their power!  How dare he?  Tax cuts?  Yet another reduction in the centralized power of the state.  Those who don't believe in the Deep State willfully ignore that Hillary won the District of Columbia by 90% to 4%.  That 90% is not happy and a substantial portion of them have joined the Resistance.  What did Lincoln say: A house divided against itself cannot stand.
 
Bring back the spoils system.  Better yet, shrink the government to the original 4 cabinet posts and leave everything else to the states.
