This becomes it's own quagmire with more destabilization of the US. More radicalization on both sides. A drifting apart of the Nation, with us unable to find a common vocabulary to even have an honest discourse.
I see no way forward that brings us together, just more tearing ourselves apart from the inside.
I wish I could see a solution that brings catharsis for the Nation, but not matter the outcome, I see only deepening of the divide already apparent in our Nation

Wasn't the "need to bring the nation together" one of the reasons Ford gave for pardoning Nixon? What do you bet they try to pull that same shit again. "Drop the investigation to stop the destabilization", "ignore the crimes of those people, focus on the future"... absolutely anything to prevent anyone in power from ever actually being held accountable.

You split the country up by census region
