Each president will be hated by approximately half the country and loved by the other half. Then the next president will be loved by the first half and hated by the other half. Politics, ideology, culture, religion, etc. will continue to divide the country.
The problem is that when you push for the government to use its powers to interfere with peoples’ lives and freedoms in such a way as to bring about a desired result, when you want the government to make decisions in the economy and in peoples’ lives, you automatically make vicious enemies for yourself. And the more state control you push for, the more enemies you will have.
This is why the left became unhinged during the Iraq War, they didn’t like this use of state power. This is why we are angry over the soft fascism/socialism we see today. As long as you have to groups of people that either A) differ enormously in what they want the state to use its powers for or B) differ enormously in the *amount* of power they want the state to have, you will have irreconcilable differences.
The idea used to terrify me, but now I think it wouldn’t be such a bad thing for the states to peaceably go their separate ways IF things continue the way they are going. I’m talking decades from now. Right now we are just seeing the birth pangs of the great divide in this country.
Note to lurking DUers/DHS agents: this isn’t “sedition” or “treason,” two things that the far left know a lot about (practicing), this is simply an objective position, a natural consequence of what I believe the political/cultural/spiritual divide is in this country. If things continue like this, if America continues to be more and more divided, then splitting up could very well be the most preferable of all of our options.
I don't think so.
The left came unhinged because it was an action by the moronic dummy Chimpy McBushitler, who in spite of his great moronosity, managed to steal the 2000 election from the annointed Savior al-Gore.
Remember they had absolutely no problem whatsoever with King William's Great Patriotic War Against Serbia.
