mass movement. For many Americans find their political identities are of utmost importance. Many

other than a sentimental attachment to the Stars and Stripes, should red and blue Americans
continue to share a country? At the end of the Calexit scenario, he even writes that Americans

Instead, he thinks the worst consequences will be international. After the split-up of the United
States, he writes, “the peace that had been maintained through the overwhelming military and
economic might of the United States would not hold.” This is an accelerated version of the argument
Robert Kagan and others have made about America’s ongoing disengagement from the world.
Without the U.S. security guarantee, French imagines a return to great power conflict, with China
and Russia moving to invade their smaller neighbors. With all due respect to these countries, if the
best argument for the continued existence of the United States is the security of Estonia and
Taiwan, maybe it really is time to pack it in."

Cascade, Trump could not have won the 2020 election so unexpectedly.
Evangelical leaders spoke out for Trump, however flawed is Trump, he did not murder its own people like
King David. Yet God still chose King David to lead the people. Cascade indicates the rapid dissemination
and acceptance of the idea among evangelicals.
