Real federalism, with regional and state differences, and a small, focused and limited national government.

I think so too. Perhaps we call it "The Federalist Party" with all social issues out. Seems to me, with these things totally off the platform, would have a very wide appeal. In fact, it could bring the country together again.

I don’t think it is possible to eliminate all social issues, but they should be pared to a minimum. An interesting example though is family law, where the federals largely opt out because it is so nit-picking, ugly and time consuming. Somehow in the matters of divorce, most adoptions etc. they find a way to butt out.

Something along these lines is the only way to keep the country more or less together without civil war or brute force however. Dixie doesn’t want to live like New England, New England doesn’t want to live like Dixie.

That blue and red divide is intense and personal.
