50 Tribes Within One Nation__ Shall Not Stand _
Democracy has not failed the United States.
Human nature's 'Tribalism' merely continued to evolve_
Who's to blame?...
The 10th Amendment, Electoral College & Human Evolution
Call it neurobiology 101, socio-political evolution, un-checked rural education (or the lack thereof), or misconstrued religious or legal doctrine_
'Tribes' are a product of evolution's common denominator:
Social-Anthropologists will tell us: Humans gather with who they mutually agree with, upon a exclusive set of laws which compliment their specific neurobiological, social and environmental requirements to function within a society, which thus makes them unique to all other Tribes...
Since the Akkadian Empire 2300 BC., (the very first political system); kingdoms and nations have worked vigorously to incorporate tribal mentality and customs into a collective populace to live under one centralized doctrine to apply to all.
The results have been mixed, to say the least. It is not a sure thing.
Tribes do exist under the guise of Nations. Nations fall when Tribes become disenchanted with a system which fails them.

Much like Afghanistan...
by a 70% majority ...
Afghans assimilate first with their Tribes and Clerics
Not as citizens of an internationally recognized nation.
This is how 200,000 Taliban defeated
A population of 32 million Afghans

Yet the world and its history proves that the survival of all who seek peace, must learn to unite in greater numbers or perish.
The current Tribal mentality within America reflects a small minority which has hi-jacked a majority of the nation.
Extremist judges, politicians, oligarchs, religious leaders and militias are positioning to control all.
This is happening via the disconnection, quarrels and complacency of Centrists and Liberals of power and influence.
Over the last 300 years: A Darwin-like-evolution of human nature (via natural law) has occurred between the immigrants and migrants who have settled within the United States.
Citing: The very basics of anthropological observations such as: different social customs, fashions, languages that irritates the close-mindedness of Tribal practice.
...As well as environmental and geographically unique interpretations of law and religion by people who are outside of a tribe who wishes to control all who exist amongst them.
Ihe irony is, that the immigrants of this great nation couldn't have been more different, more diverse, more unique from one to another.
Yet, a 'collective obligation' occurred when they realized that their newly found world could become theirs exclusively. under a united pact. A United States:
They become a collective to blend, assimilate, emulate and empathize with each other... which helped ward off the occupations of the Spanish, French and British.
Unfortunately, since this nations independence, the primal element of 'Tribalism' has once again crept into the conscience of the country's citizens.
These 'tribes' have followed a never ending desire to establish their own states, unique and autonomous from federal doctrines which the Constitution of the United States was founded on.
Over the 246 years: The Tribes (States) have reached back to their 'old-world' ways claiming archaic and anachronistic laws and religious doctrine that contradict the very ethos of a Pluralistic / Secular Democracy, by claiming States Rights.
The 10th Amendment and the Electoral College are the two fundamental enablers of the growth of Tribalism within the U.S.
