I think it is probably time for an amicable divorce between the “two Americas”. If you look at the Electoral College map, you’ll see that the geography and idealogy line up very well to make this convenient. I’d be willing to leave the blue state I live in.
The “Red States” (How God fearing, Capitalist, Patriotic states ever got to be the “Red” states, I don’t understand), are completely contiguous (except for Alaska, of course). You could travel by car to every Red state, without passing through a Democrat state.
We could give the lefties, a 10 or 20 mile wide stretch on the Candian border, through ND, MT and ID, to connect MN to Washington State and a similar strip of land to on the Mexican border in Arizona (I’m sure AZ would appreciate the illegal alien buffer zone). Then they could travel to all their states without passing through ours.
We could be the friendliest of allies, and I think if we seperated, would actually like each other a lot more.
We can keep the flag, the military, God, Faith, Guns, the Constitution, etc. and all the other great things they hate. They can keep the food stamps, the illegal aliens, same sex (or even inter-species if they want) marriage, Hollywood, Washington DC, etc.
We’ll take half of the 16 trillion dollar debt, and pay our share off in 10 years or so, while their 8 trillion grows to 100 trillion over the same period.
The Dems and Libs will never go for this. Who would they take from?
Are you serious?
Talk about economic suicide. How many of us are willing to sell their house at a loss, quit their job, uproot the family and relocate to God knows what.
It wasn't always that way. I think the MSM sorts got together at some point and decided that it might be harmful if the Dim states continued to be illustrated as 'red' states.
Looks like it changed in 1992.
It changed on Election Night 2000, and willfully so by the Orwellian Newsspeak media with GOPers refusing to repudiate the false label. The irony of Conservatives exclaiming they want to paint America “Red”, well... that’s exactly what we got. Red is Communist.
Why would the majority of takers allow the makers to leave? Makers are feeding the takers, after all. Nothing short of a civil war (the red states vs. the US Army) will do. The takers are planning to feed on the makers until no more makers are left; then they will turn onto each other - as they always do; history is full of such examples.
