"Reaching across the aisle" despite decades of bad faith is how we got here. The time for that is indeed long past.

As far as the Framers of the Constitution's intent, it's very well known that they were vehemently opposed to tyranny, so if the federal government becomes such, the "free state" will clearly be those places that it is attempting to oppress.

If someone can't be held accountable to the law then we are living in a tyrannical state.
