    Only problem with this is the divide isn’t at the state level. It’s between urban and rural.

      And like it or not we all need each other. Farmers need customers and people in cities need food. Rural people think they can survive on their own but good luck with that when the money stops coming in.

        Money isn’t even the half of it. Modern agriculture requires so many other industrial inputs that they wouldn’t be able to grow enough food for themselves without it.

    Never. Handing over innocent people to the new confederacy would be a Trump-level betrayal.

    I want the brainless right driven from power, never to return. Anything less is cowardice.

    “They assassinated our nice guy who actually talked to them peacefully debating ideas,”

    They? Wow, they’re not even pretending to be tangential to the truth anymore.

      I also don’t know if encouraging the bailout of Pelosi’s attacker counts as “peacefully debating ideas”.

    She keeps saying this but how would it even work? No state is 100% red or 100% blue and moving millions of people around is never going to work.

    I’m fine with it.

    The Experiment is over, but the thing about experiments is you’re supposed to take what you learned from it and do another.

      This one they can convince their base to blame the ‘radical left’, and so they can ratchet up the political violence. They are taking a dive like a professional football player.

    Archived link to article.

    So what does “a peaceful national divorce” entail? Because that’s article doesn’t really elaborate on it.

    Do they want to relocate anyone they deem to be the enemy to the West Coast and then ‘build a wall’ down the Rockies? That sounds closest to a national divorce to me. But I suspect their version would involve ‘removing’ people they dislike while ceding no territory.

      End result is probably going to turn coastal cities on the west coast into “autonomous republics” that are politically detached to the rest of the country.

        I’ve always wondered what a city state solution would be like. Where cities over a million become their own state with full representation. I feel like that is the divorce we need.

    Pro tip: You divorce “the left” and Magats are still going to be killing Magats. That’s not going to solve your problem. LOL.
