I agree.
Not that that can be realistic, or even easily done.
But ideally conservatives get the East and they get the west.
We get the “old” we love with its foundational history, they get the land less filled with their hated US history and more Latino/Spanish and Indian history they prefer. Fewer statues to tear down in the west.
And BTW let them try to make a living out of the dessert lands.
Most Hispanics will go with us... lots of Hispanics are traditional Americans. The one in sex black men - and their families will go with us - and most Asians.
PUS (Progressive United States) will have ALL the white liberal ‘elites’ and all the black democrats who prop them up... and they’ll have all the illegals the world can dump on them...
AND us? We’ll have a wall between our two countries so they can’t break in - and the Progressive will help us build the Wall because they won’t want to let their people escape. (Commie hellholes always have walls to keep people IN. Free Countries have walls to keep people OUT.
This is a real win-win.
