I agree with all your points, except I don’t think he’ll win many of them over. I worked around many liberals over the years and there’s no winning over people who are incapable of accepting logic, reason and the lessons of history. Make no mistake, they want to control us, restrict our freedoms, and make government the end all in our lives. Their relentless drive toward socialism is just a first step toward even greater evils. I’m afraid our differences with them are simply irreconcilable.

Even though not talking to me; I agree with your points. They won't change directions and our differences are irreconcilable. I bet sometime in the not too distant future, depending on who the President is, we may end splitting the nation. The dems will have to move to dem states and republicans will have to move to conservative states. The alternative would be straight up war in the streets with riots with lots of burning, collateral damage and killing. The far left already has a mob mentality so it isn't much of a hike to get to rioting.

I propose they get Washington state, Maine, and Minnesota. We get the rest. Build walls around those states with big beautiful gates for trade. ;)

There already is a secession of sorts going on, but more in a virtual sense. People are leaving troubled blue states for saner lives in red states.

I also think its possible that in the future some states and/or regions will more or less go their own way, in contravention to federal dominance. There is already precedent for this, ironically established by liberal states through the “declaration” of their illegal sanctuary policies. This can work both ways and I believe it will.
