I’ve been saying for at least 20 years that we might as well draw a line from Seattle to Miami and secede. Demographics are all that matters when you have unlimited immigration. Go to any grade school in Southern California. THAT is California.

Walter Williams wrote about this years ago. We discussed it here.

All of those who want to turn America into Venezuela can move to Venezuela.

Problem solved.

I don’t actually believe that the COUNTRY is split.

The left wants us to believe that when the real issue is those in power who want to ruin the country.

So they try to tell us the country is split.

However, if the split is real, it’s between city folk and rural, grassroots America.

I see problems. Who keeps the military? Who pays for welfare?

I want to be in the Red Zone. Alas, I live in the blue at the moment.

Fine with me. Give half the country to the libs - along with their friends the illegals, convicts, millenial snow flakes and people who want free stuff.
We will take the other half with productive people, Second Amendment supporters and patriots.

There is no logical dividing line, because our differences are urban vs. rural, with the suburbs being pulled in both directions.

Why not? Because the split is urban vs rural, not state vs state.

This is idiocy. Plain and pure idiocy.

1. The left can not tolerate the existence of any other ideology. Period.

If we were to “break up” the left would keep coming at the remnants to take possession of them too. To keep them out, in all their usual locusts, refugee and other guises would demand slaughter at the borders of those areas resisting leftism that would be intolerable to the kind of spineless, cowardly idiot that thought running away would work in the first place.

2. We built this. They just parasite off of it.
It is ours. All of it. Running away wont work. Running away will still require much bloodshed. Might as well do the bloodshed and keep the land.

“hell, there’s 500,000 of us on this Island.”

But they elected a Democrat to Congress.
