After 230 years, are the American people coursing toward eventual divorce?
Our polarized society increasingly ponders what would happen if American conservatives and liberals simply agreed that their differences had become irreconcilable, and redivided the nation to go their separate ways.
Which side would prosper and experience an influx of migration from the other? Conversely, which side would likely become a fiscal and socio-political basket case?

To not even acknowledge that the South is the most conservative part of the country is at best intellectually dishonest. However, I would give the Midwest/Inter-mountain West the #2 Ranking in that category. In fact, I once lived in the Inter-mountain West and the folks there did not care where you came from as long as it was NOT from the Northeast or California.
I would say you have that ranking backwards.
If you ran poll on “Most Conservative regions of the Country” on folks an FR. I think you would be surprised.
It's over. It's time to save what we can. The playing field is rigged by the MSM. Time to get a new playing field. If they want to make it a battlefield, so be it.
That's the whole point. THere will be migrations of dead beats. No question.
Are you fore real? You don't break away from a Socialist Country to form another socialist country. That would be as stupid as your posts.
