I used to say this tongue and cheek years ago. Now we have arrived at that very reality.

“Why not? Czechoslovakia pulled it off.”

Even the Soviet Union did it.

The vast size and complexity of the territory does make it more likely that their could be warlords and splinter groups (perhaps cults) all over the place as central government broke down...

I just don’t see a “war plan” that would make any sense in the real world—and there is no point in starting a war without a workable plan for “victory”.

I don't think so.

More like this:

Does that not leave the left with any politically viable entities? Tough.

Let all the major cities have their own country.

There is no reason nations must be contiguous.

The West Coast and metro NYC would be viable countries—but that is about it...

The left will not allow such a peaceable split. Who will drive the trucks, harvest the lumber, cultivate the food and staff the factories to keep their part of the country operating?

Or clean their pools, mow their lawns and trim their hedges, watch their kids, mop their floors, haul their garbage away (and where would they haul it?).....

I have been advocating for “divorce” for many years we can not live with them any longer.

I hope it happens peacefully.

It would work - they take the left coast and the northeast, and we give them free travel-through on the interstates in exchange for leasing our military bases back to us on the cheap (they don’t need them anyway).

I wouldn’t worry about that. Once they agreed to separate and we had them all in one location we would attack them and drive them into the sea the next day.

He should move part of his line on the map to the eastern borders of Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas. That said, though, there won’t be any secession. When harder times come, it will all belong to real Americans again.

That exactly the way the United States split.

Let them have all those blue counties.

From New York to Los Angeles and San Francisco, on up to Portland and Chicago to the big cities in Texas and then on to Chicago.

Agreed—but true statesmanship would be needed to do it peacefully.

If you see any statesmen around let us know!

Americans to the East.

And give the commies all of the good skiing in the country?!! I don't think so!

“preferable to cutting the brake lines on a spouse’s car”

No he said it was ‘easier’ which is totally false.

“Nope. Here’s why your idea won’t work worth a darn: I am not giving all of my home to the commies, and I’m guessing you don’t understand the whole of what is out west, or you wouldn’t be ready to give it up so quickly. And I guarantee I’m not alone in my way of thinking.”

Fine. Invert the geography of the plan. I’d move in a heartbeat.
