The New Madrid fault zone in Mississippi almost caused the North American plate to break a while back; “The Mississippi embayment is underlain by Paleozoic sedimentary rocks up to 570 millions years old. The Paleozoic rocks are underlain by even older rocks that appear to have been deformed about 600 million years ago when the North American continent almost broke apart.” https://earthquake.usgs.gov/learn/topics/nmsz/1811-1812.php
Now the Democrats are the big rift in our nation.

Tho a humble carpenter in my younger days, this stuff has always fascinated me.

Too bad not a bit further north and create a chasm on the Mexican border, a moat we might use.
