Joe Biden warned last week about the election: “I don’t know whether it will be peaceful.”

He’s right to be concerned, but wrong to limit that concern to the reaction on the right.

We all pray we don’t see anything like what happened at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, or the carnage in the streets created by leftist activists in the Summer of 2020.

What is for sure, is that on Nov. 6, roughly 50.1% of the country will be euphoric and the other 49.9% will be in a deep and lasting depression.

Politics in America is now – regrettably – a contact sport.

The best way to settle our differences is to let the states make more policies than they do now. Blue states can adopt more governmental intrusions in the economy and red state residents can keep government off their backs and out of their wallets.

UP Chairman Stephen Moore (currently on a temporary leave of absence) put it well in the Washington Times:

There is a logical way to keep America united as one nation and to avert chaos and mayhem. And fortunately, this solution is consistent with the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. For those who have forgotten, the 10th Amendment decrees that all powers not specifically granted to the federal government are reserved to “the states and the people.” …

It’s amazing that some 250 years ago, our Founding Fathers had exactly the right vision for keeping America united in 2024 and beyond.
