Admit it. We need a divorce.
Dare we say the seeds of this were planted in the 60s when the country was overtaken by the Left. Now the fruits of that revolution are ripened. http://thefederalist.com/2018/04/10/time-united-states-divorce-things-get-dangerous/
The Federalist
Did you guys already try this couple of centuries back? Won't be a great divorce though, all the rich states that subsidizes the poor red ones are blue, except maybe Texas.
this ^ also the premise that folks in southern and northern states had the exact same values, the failure to recognize the immense common ground we still have today, and the idea that borders have been peaceably redrawn throughout history, render this piece laughable
As long as you take all the democrats with you. They eat up the most welfare even in red states.
The blue states don’t know how to use guns or like them. Also most military friends I have are right wingers. I’m for this!!! LMAO
Philosophical discussion for now, but agree. When a country is this split, instead of spilling blood (literally sometimes and maybe more frequently in the future), it may be better for everyone. A much larger % of the population can have the government and laws they desire by splitting up as cleanly as possible. Times change and borders are redrawn.
There would be ~100 new countries (basically all the top 100 cities) and the other 99% of the geographical area would be another country.
No. Not all of them will make it. Only clusters, states or large contiguous divisions of states that can be negotiated. There will be painful migration of people over time, if this ever happens. That's what happened in all redrawing of borders in history.
California, Oregon and Washington should secede, creating a nation called Pacifica, taking pretty much all the top industries with them. Maybe NY, NJ, MA, and the other east states could form another country, let's call it New England. Then let the Republicans in between these centers of Democrat excellence starve. GOPpers have been getting a free ride for too long.
Starve? Every state you just mentioned is on the verge of bankruptcy even with those industries. Let’s do it!!!!!!! Not all devs are libs. Some of us have and are not living in the western states.
Starve. The states I mentioned are the only ones that make any money. Texas doesn't have enough oil left to pay for all the Republican shitholes.
Lol it’s cute that libs assume they already win the technological war. First of all very close to half the devs are conservative. Second we can recruit infinite number of Asians and Indians with merit based immigration system while you guys figure out how to raise more tax to support the illegals.
So dumb. Most Indian and Chinese with families would not want to live in red state now, if they have a choice. They are not white remember! Good luck trying to entice tech workers of Sweden to move to your shithole.
I think that’s just the Blind illusion that half devs are conservatives. Asians and Indians are pacifists. They’re not going to fight your war. Illegals, especially refugees with nothing to lose, will be quite a force to be reckoned with. Meanwhile, Trump wants to strip citizenship from legal immigrants soldiers.
Red kids... Be careful what you wish for. Think about it, you oppose immigration so no jobs for you. No big federal grants either, funded by mostly blue states. You believe in coal as the future, so no tech innovation either.
Author talks about illegal immigrants. I bet they’ll give the illegals citizenship as soon as the war starts.
OP is that typical nerd who gets turned down by every other chick he asks out. The only way for such a nerd to vent out his frustration is to pretend to be a Trumpie and bash liberals for literally some batshit reason.
Problem is that the geographical area that is Democrat is ~1% of the land mass and disseminated (the urban areas). Everywhere else is GOP.
this author has a very poor understanding of history among many other things
