• I would also like a peaceful national divorce. Those of us who prefer intellectualism and advancement get one half, and the knuckledragging neanderthals whose only accomplishment in life is being born white get the other half

      Nah. Doubt it.

      Not really sure how it’s going to play out, but old America is done and gone.

      Too many stupids to maintain a functional federal government across a large nation.

      Balkanization seems likely. And at this point I don’t really care and think it would probably be for the best, especially for blue states.

      We’re not going back to what we had.

    Into it.

    Blue states secede and watch the red states cannibalize themselves.

    They need us. We don’t need them.

    They will only learn if they are entirely destitute and have to come crawling back to us.

    But we both know the violent right would go to war to prevent blue states from seceding. Like I said, they need us.

    Margie, worry about your own divorce. Leave the country alone. It has enough fuckwits trying to destroy it already.

    I mean, it would be an interesting experiment I guess. I suspect it would effectively segregate the states by ideology and race. I assume most non-old-white-christians would prefer to live in blue states.

    But one glaring question is how would we divide up existing federal resources? Like the military, bank, etc.

    She’s already called for that multiple times, and each time she would have (and will ) regret it if she got it as she’d be left with a thrift word theocratic dictatorship that wouldn’t be able to feed its own population

    I think it is a good idea. Break into 3 unions of states. North, south, west.

    The south can fuck themselves down there on their own.
