National Divorce is the answer.
No Civil War - Civil Separation
You can’t live with people that want you dead.
Can not work.
The locusts will simply follow and infest again.

I agree, but they’ll never let us go. They hate us, but they’ll never let us go. They want our tax money. It’s like an abusive husband who beats the crap out of his wife, but won’t let her leave him. Even if we did separate, our portion of the country would soon be far better than theirs, and they’d start flooding in to our territory, or demanding to be let in. Just like red states and blue states. Liberals ruin the blue states, then flood into the red ones. We’d better have a “big beautiful wall” and a great Border Patrol, if we ever do manage to separate.
