Is it completely nuts to think we could become new colonists and find somewhere large enough to start again?
I won’t call it nuts.
I will say that it would be easier to turn the US into smaller countries, a few on the east and west coast for those of us here that are sane.
And A big country in the middle and south.
And some largely populated but smaller countries again on the east and west cost.
And then the wars would begin.
And alliances would form.
Now THAT’S a LOT or nuts than what you’re proposing :)
How about Mexico?
