The divide and grounds for divorce is not regional, but urban and rural.
The solution would be for the People of the United States to divorce themselves from the largest 50 cities in the country as they are mostly socialist and vote Democrat.
Leave the rest of the nation in place minus those big cities and of course the college towns.
Under the Holy Roman Empire, there were quite a few “Free Cities” in the general region of what we now consider Germany.
I like the idea of Philadelpha, Boston, San Francisco, etc. being free and independent cities, able to make up their own laws, and collecting their own taxes. The regions around those bastions of Progressivism can simply adhere to the Constitution.
But perhaps the Left would find this solution unworkable. Because they need us more than we need them.
More preferable to nuke the cities, and thus solve the problem once and for all.
Yeah, city-states.
“The divide and grounds for divorce is not regional, but urban and rural.”
THIS.
There is no geographic solution to the “divorce” path. It’s not a simple “yours, mine, done”.
Upstate NY hates NYC.
GA is redneck but for multicultural Atlanta.
Let CA leave, and 90% of the state is still stuck with the moronic-but-powerful 5-mile strip down the coast.
Agree to part, and we’ll just fight even fiercer over who gets what where.
To correct the marital analogy: we need to establish well-defined areas of “leave me alone”. The Right needs the “man cave”, garage, patio, and workshop. The Left needs the sitting room, entertainment center, and vanity. They may still share those areas, but realize that one generally gets to dictate terms THERE and not _everywhere_; vanity rules don’t apply in the man cave, etc.
It’s a sea of red with an archipelago of blue. You can’t just draw a line and declare them separated.
That’s a great idea.
Sorry to tell you it is state by state only. Any other way is too messy and could lead to war.
