We are two Americas: Biden’s America and Trump’s America. These two Americas have nothing of importance in common with each other, and no common ground to stand on. There is not a single moral or political principle upon which these two Americas agree. Sure, everybody wants “freedom,” “justice,” “equality,” “democracy,” and a host of other glittering ideals. So have most dictators, Communists, and war criminals in modern history. Lenin, Stalin, and Mao gave stirring speeches in favor of all of them. The reality is that in the United States, we have long since ceased to do anything more than pay lip service to a sham facsimile of our old shared ideals.
What does this mean for us? If we are not held together as a nation by anything except the fact that we live in the same place (and, of course, even this isn’t true of parts of the U.S.), then we are not members of a common political community. Our union is built on what Alexander Hamilton called “accident and force” in the very first Federalist paper. We are subjects, not self-governing citizens.

Texas is just years away from turning blue. Even now the state would likely not vote to secede. So none of this secession talk is going anywhere. But I suppose it’s part of the grieving process.
“””How do you split it up?”””
In looking at your map, it would be easy to split it up.
1. The RED areas would become the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
2. The BLUE areas would become the UNITED CITIES OF AMERICA.
I do hope the folks in the United Cities of America enjoy their diet of Soylent Green.
Do tell.
What -- specifically -- are you going to do to prevent it?
I’m old and sick.
I’ll do whatever I want to do.
What will you do?
Do tell....who do you think you are, Bugs Bunny?
We aren’t there, and that’s not where we’re going. We’re in the interregnum between the unacceptable condition that used to be in effect all our lives, and whatever is coming. I don’t think Trump giving up is part of whatever’s coming.
Anyone who’s closely followed Trump’s post-election executive actions regarding the Pentagon and NSAM-57, should be able to recognize them as moves which mean he ain’t going anywhere. This is what “all the marbles” looks like in real life. It’s how it had to be because half-ass wouldn’t have been worth it in the first place.
We can’t be in the loop, obviously. We can only pray.
You made the claim that you aren’t going to let thieves “steal a square inch of your country.” I’m happy to hear you will “do whatever you want”, all I want to know is, what will that be? Why get angry at me over the question?
I have no idea what you mean about Bugs Bunny.
I’m going to refer them to you so you can bore them to death.
