Divided We Stand The country is hopelessly split. So why not make it official and break up?

A better idea

Why don’t the left wing, racist, socialist/Commie malcontents just emigrate to Russia, China, Cuba, NK, Africa, and Venezuela? A built in solution to their issues. They get the tax rates and economy they want, no guns, no religion. Lennon’s Imagine, right before their very eyes.

Plus they get to “ diversify” their new countries

Makes everyone happy. Well, except fir the Russians, Chinese, NK. Cubans et al. But hey, since when did the left care whether the home population liked them or wanted them around?

Alright, but make Texas a country and Staten Island a state of Texas. Hell, there’s 500,000 of us on this Island

That's the problem, any splitting up probably goes right through the middle of each town. I'd rather just kick their ass and be done with it.

It will not be so clear as the North and the South the next time, it will be Americans v non-Americans (the latter being those who believe the Constitution is "fundamentally flawed" or can be ignored).

There is no rational way to split the country, even with a Civil War 2.

Along what lines? Political parties? Political ideologies? Cities v rural? States?

One problem with splitting is that the Liberal/Leftist/Socialist side needs money from the others. They eventually run out of their own money.

Another problem is that too many from the Californias, etc., have moved to other states. Why are they leaving paradise? Then, they are slowly turning those states purple and blue. So will we need armed borders or wall to keep the 2 separate?

You’re right.

There aren’t many states that voted 80 to 20 for Trump and vice versa.

As long as you have 40 percent or above in a state wanting one party, you have a potential war.

Not that easy. CA gets their drinking water and electricity from other western states(because they refuse to build reservoirs). Goods and services are trucked and trained and shipped and piped all over the lower 55 states. Plus military bases in blue states. Plus financial outfits and company hq’s all over.

F that. They don’t deserve s***, let alone half the country. Just take their immigrant and progeny voters and GTFO

Plenty of places will want them . . .

Well, on second thought, I don’t rightly think so

The last time this was proposed here, we ended up with a name-calling match. For my part, I would be glad to find some small corner of the world where my wife and I could find safety from these people until we die (naturally, not with their “medical assistance”).

If those in blue states would still be able to move to red states, then this would be fruitless!!

My apologies for the curt response.

Still devastated over it.

And it’s not just Russians and Albanians in Brooklyn.

They’ve infested here too.

Now I know how southerners feel about northern Ds moving there.

I think the Good Lord gave us brains to settle these things out amongst ourselves peacefully.... Jesus would not want bloodshed. He gave us all a mind to think with...

Texas v. White. Texas v. White, (1869), U.S. Supreme Court case in which it was held that the United States is “an indestructible union” from which no state can secede.

Problem is the Left always has to have it all. Just like “homosexual rights”. Ultimately, they will not leave you alone to live and let live. You are only entitled to the country they allow you to have.

Liberals should be relocated to the Ross ice shelf.

It would be nice if we could trade and equal number of Venezuelans with Liberals. Libs would have to move to Venezuela permanently. They like socialism. V already has it. All they need to do is try to fix it — without foreign aid from the rest of us.

I suspect we could find more than enough Venezuelans willing to trade places with Libs. V’s would have to agree to assimilate into the American culture.

[The trouble is, Libs talk a big game about leaving the country if Mr. X or Mz Y is elected, but never call they moving vans.]
