The GOP has many problems, but the Democratic Party has turned into something completely un-American. The United States was founded on two things: Judeo-Christian values and a limited federal government. The entire platform of modern Democrats stands completely opposite both of those.
This is the party that booed the very mention of the word “God” at their 2016 convention. This is the party whose candidates openly “joke” about killing anyone who won’t turn in his weapons. Their senators joke on national TV about killing the U.S. president, and the host responds by clapping like a seal. The 1960s counter-culture liberal protestor who just wanted free weed and an end to the war in Vietnam has been replaced by a man who hunts down Steve Scalise and tries to kill him at baseball practice. The Left is not playing games. They are getting bolder, and they are getting more violent. They have no interest in rational compromises. Like all authoritarian ideologies, they want you to bow down before them or be destroyed for daring to resist. If you believe in God and limited government, here are the entities that now proclaim their hatred of you in full view of the public: The Democratic Party, media, Hollywood, the public education system, and now even corporate America. The GOP may have the House, Senate, and presidency, but we have completely lost the culture war. It does not have to be this way. There is a difficult, but ultimately peaceful path that ends with everyone getting most of what they want. We divide the nation in two. We can and will draw the map and argue over it a million different ways for a million different reasons, but draw it we must. I’ve got my map, I suspect the final draft would look similar.

Too bad that most of the GOP agree with the democrats.
This is going to end REAL ugly and I doubt we will recover.
Once DJT is gone, I dont see anybody who has what it takes as successor.
We will then have to brace ourselves for a HARD payback period and either become slaves or fight for our freedom.
We are going there soon.
Buy a $40 Roku stick and subscribe to Netflix, Hulu or Sling and watch all of the TV you want, when you want it for only $30 a month plus your internet provider fee.
Steaming TV shows and movies is the best way to go now. Saves me almost $180 a month by dumping DirecTV.
Transport Austin, TX to CA and all of TX will be happy.
“You can’t just melt away the states. “
Why on Earth not?
“The rest of Illinois hates Chicago and would split from them. The rest of New York hates NYC. The rest of Florida hates Miami, the rest of Washington hates Seattle, most of Oregon hates Portland, the rest of Virginia hates Occupied Northern Virginia, much of California hates The LA to Oakland coastal strip.”
And I once read that if Sherman came back and wanted to burn Atlanta again, most of the rest of Georgia would help him.
I can promise you Kentucky does not want to be with the soy people. You can draw Louisville out if you want, but the rest of the state stays in the union.
That being said, I don't know what the solution to the cultural divide is. France has perhaps the strongest traditionalist Catholic movement in Europe, but the traditionalists are in a distinct minority, and have been so for over a century. Our own traditionalist culture is more divided than France's is: there are Catholic, evangelical Protestant, and secularist traditionalists who work in circles that operate separately. (Not to mention Mormon and Orthodox Jewish communities, who maintain their own self-segregation.) If the country does not slide into leftist authoritarianism, the traditionalist cultures can continue to exist within the overall culture, as has been the case in France.
Your observation regarding population displacement is correct. Don’t forget the partition of India and Pakistan. Over 12 million people displaced.
Just Chicago area, not down state.

Mad Maxine and whole host of other socialist dem hate spewers are [not so] secretly hoping that one, or more, of their followers will take action along the lines of the guy who shot Scalise.
Czechoslovakia divorced without a drop of spilled blood. We can do it too.
Great example. Huge!
Why give these crybaby old lesbians anything!
“The rest of Illinois hates Chicago and would split from them.”
This Illinosian is counting the days until he retires and gets the Hell out.
This is frightening.
Add PA to that list — with the exception of Philly, Pittsburgh, and Erie, the state is predominately conservative. As far as I’m concerned, the hipster kids in Pittsburgh can go enjoy the spoils of leftism that Philly already has brought to full bloom, and can leave the rest of us alone in peace and sanity.
—agree on the “pledge”—and did I ever get flamed for saying that a few years ago—
