It’s ultimately about the fact that for a country to hold together there need to be a lot of shared values. If half the country believes in the values that made America successful in the first place while the other half of the country is demanding to live in some sort of atheistic socialist utopia that hates everything those other people believe in and stand for, we have what is known in a marriage as irreconcilable differences. Once our value systems are that far apart, there is no such thing as a win/win situation. This is why the standard political strategy for both sides is now to refuse to work with the other side as much as possible in hopes that the public will blame the people in charge for the inaction. Cooperation between both sides collapses because anything one side favors is considered to be taking the country in the wrong direction by the other side.
Quite frankly, if the country were more easily geographically divided up as it was in the Civil War, the nation may have already broken apart. That doesn’t mean that’s a good thing or that it has to go that way, but it does mean people should be much more concerned about this possibility than they seem to be today. The success we enjoy today is largely the result of the work, culture, and foresight of previous generations of Americans. There are absolutely no guarantees that we will continue to live in a country that is strong, prosperous, free, or even together as a nation in the next few years or decades to come. That depends on all of us across the ideological spectrum, which given the state of the country over the last few years, should scare the hell out of everyone.

Universal franchise wouldn’t work. Only land owners and/or military veterans having the vote would be the only way to go. Heinlein had it right sixty years ago.

Just curious... How would you possibly “upgrade” a Constitution many would consider the most brilliant ever conceived in human history, thanks to the infinite wisdom of our Founding Fathers?
There are no blue states, only blue cities.
Yes they are, in fact VDH hails from that area.
I hear the geography/delineation argument all the time. Fact is, if this country were spilt into smaller pieces you’d have more accountable government. The government closest to the people governs best, as the saying goes.
COMMIES ARE Long past due for a beatdown.
You are thinking at the state level. You need to adjust your perspective and think at the county level. If the country breaks apart, states will dissolve as well.
Start with nullification. The basic economic and defense benefits of union are still valid, but nullification of Fed.gov overreach and especially leftist social engineering must be ended
The kind from which there is no recovery.
Agree
But did Rush say it was time to panic yet?
If they send troops, they could face prolonged guerrilla wars.
Just do it.
And let’s not remind the left of that pesky detail.
One big problem that every red state has a significant population of liberal douchebags. What is to be done with these worthless scumbags?
So correct. Apparently, many of us have not learned a thing about commies. The second a new and separate country is set up, communists will begin subverting the new nation.
Yep. Downstate IL is corn, soy beans and hogs. And...RED. Might as well redraw the states too.
Well it could be secession then in short order invade and conquer.
This is the route in which I'm leaning. If biden gets in Texas should nullify any laws, EOs, and regulations from the federal government. Biden or harris will never be the legitimate president so no law order or regulation they enact should be valid in the state of Texas.
I'm also going to support nullifying ALL federal gun laws in the State of Texas. We can handle guns ourselves without any interference from the corrupt feds.
Yep, they’ll fund and arm a stay-behind revolutionary army like the Viet Cong, and they’ll get foreign help.
