America Thinks the Unthinkable (truncated)
The Daily Mail ^ | 10-01-2021 | Morgan Phillips

A new poll has revealed that political divisions run so deep in the US that over half of Trump voters want red states to secede from the union, and 41% of Biden voters want blue states to split off.

According to the analysis from the University of Virginia's Center for Politics, 52% of Trump voters at least somewhat agree with the statement: 'The situation is such that I would favor [Blue/Red] states seceding from the union to form their own separate country.' Twenty-five percent of Trump voters strongly agree.

Meanwhile, 41% of Biden voters at least somewhat agree with the sentiment, while 18% strongly agree.

Rather than split the United States, a better goal would be to advocate and work toward the goal of Demonicrat judges, politicians and their supporters being tried, convicted, and sentenced to be publicly hanged for murder, crimes against humanity, and giving aid and comfort to the enemy.

I didn’t seriously entertain this possibility until the day Biden announced vax mandates and at least half the states are challenging this in court.

The simpler solution is statehood for large metropolitan areas. The city-states can be as collectivist as they want - but have no authority over the rural areas.

Yes, there would be new Democrat Senators from the city-states...but also new Republican Senators from California, Oregon, Washington, Illinois etc.

This is the least disruptive solution. Actual secession of states will lead directly to Yugoslavia.

Why is it unthinkable? The other options are civil war and genocide.

I say we give them Cuba, Haiti, and Porta Rico and they can negotiate for themselves over Afghanistan and Venezuela. But they must relocate and officially denounce citizenship.

It’s long past time to pretend that conservatives and socialists can get along.

I don’t know how Czechoslovakia is doing. The last time I was there it was still under Communist control (and dreary). But I don’t think they have a problem with Haitians illegally entering the country.

The only way this country elects a democrat POTUS is to go with silver tongue liars. Where’s the next BJ/Obama? It ain’t Beto. Buttegeg’s claim to fame is taking it up the butt. It doesn’t make him likable. All that’s left are those who think they’re likable like Kamala, Hillary, Kerry, Gore. Give us a break. Steal it with Biden.

Probably too gerrymandered to get a good separation of individuals.

It seems inevitable as the Democrat-run cities and states are veering into instability. High levels of crime, erosion of public education, high taxes, and persistent categorization by race and gender are becoming unacceptable to those who hold traditional values, and want to maintain a stable and secure homeland.

I think inflation and the aggressive climate change policies will accelerate the urge to separate.

It will be messy, but there is no one around like Lincoln who will go to any length to keep the Union together. It will happen without a shot being fired. It may not happen in my lifetime- I'm 60- but it will likely happen to my children or grandchildren.

The generation that will destroy the USA as we know it is here. Fortunately, the generation who will rebuild a new, free nation is also here. We are in a time where there are sinister, destructive people who seek to control the people; but also a time where there is a great love for the Constitution and the freedoms it is supposed to protect.

Sealed off and allowed to wither away then reacquired.

Separating the parasitic states from the producer states has strong appeal over here!! How do we keep out the cancerous rats from migrating? Voting card check. But then we will have illegal immigration from blue state to red state. How do we stop that?
