We are living in a country with two opposing, irreconcilable worldviews. We need to come up with some sort of arrangement that would force the statists and collectivists to survive on their own.

Yeah, it looks that way, the only other alternative and much worse (but if the first idea fails, then we will have to do it at some point) is the idea to dig in and fight a war with them and to win it.

There is another consideration. If people could live free and happy lives in a state sheltered, by a state government run by the people for the people, from the tyranny of a freedom-oppressing government whose primary goal is the furtherance of its leaders, that offers a nice middle-ground option.

While we all see the dire direction of the nation, it might be premature to assume a "war" is the only way out. As long as we are free to teach our children our values, to invest in pursuit of those things important to us, free to purchase and use goods (including fuel) as we see fit, and free to worship God (or not) according to the religion of our choice openly and freely, without fear of repression or charges of "hate speech" according to the tenets of the competing religion of humanism, I see no reason to fight - assuming the other side would likewise prefer a peaceful resolution.
