The problem with glib solutions like yours is that once we break up, we will be harvested by the ChiComs.
I guess you can make your enlightened projections, but I for one will go down swinging for the legacy our founding fathers left us.
As Ben Franklin said, “We must all hang together, or we will surely hang separately!”
While I appreciate your idealism, that legacy has been tarnished beyond recognition. As for being harvested by the ChiComs, is it your opinion that's not already happening?
Wait what? Freepers tell me China military would have a hard time invading Taiwan ( 80 miles off the China coast ) but some how they would be a threat to a divided USA? LOLOLOLOLOL
“… once we break up, we will be harvested by the ChiComs.”
They have harvested the federal government whole already. They call the shots now, as they have bought everyone of significance in D.C. and turned the government into the burgeoning totalitarian state that it is now.
That is how it is with societies in their death throes…those being dragged to destruction by the Lord Almighty. Probably better to break apart and try to preserve a remnant of something that gets closer to the original vision than attempt to fight it out for an empire that is already dead and buried.
