It’s become readily apparent that the two ideological groups cannot live under the same political jurisdiction.
We must separate ourselves, probably along state lines, in order to avoid a bloody civil war.
We insist on being free, they insist on enslaving us.
We’d like to insist they be responsible for themselves, they refuse.

Well that sure sounds like a shout-out to the CWII Ping List. So here it is:
Agree, Mr. B. Problem is, we’re dealing with those for whom facts, reason, logic and the rule of law mean nothing. There is only one way this can end - aand that is, a bloody civil war.
My unflinching estimate is that we will all have to descend into our own ‘heart of darkness’ in order to survive and then defeat the monsters who oppose us. When you deal with monsters, you must for a time, become the monster yourself in order to defeat them. Those of us who survive will have to wrestle with our consciences afterward. We don’t have to like it. But it’s what we must do.
That’s the tragic and unalterable nature of our frail and fallible existence. We will have to live with what we must do in order to secure the blessings of liberty for the generations who follow us. Given the nature of those who oppose us, the price we will have to pay - physical AND spiritual - for the deeds we must do will be more than some can bear.
Problem is, the divisions are along urban vs rural lines. Take a look at your region’s voter precinct maps showing election results: urban goes Democrat, rural goes Republican. For each state, it’s just a matter of which outnumbers the other. Divide across state lines and you’ll still have pockets of dissent.
Methinks that’s why we haven’t seen secession of late: the geographic political divisions are not a simple matter of north vs south.
