The Prospect of a National Divorce

Are red and blue America headed for a split? Lately, Dan Bongino has discussed the possibility on his daily podcast and radio show. Glenn Beck has mentioned it, too. It’s a focused topic of David Reaboi, whom Bongino cites. Reaboi suggests that a “national divorce” should be discussed. He sees a split more as a matter of when, not if. The hope is for a civil, if not amicable, separation.

What may surprise readers is the convergence that’s happening about the need for a national divorce.

As the Center for Politics at the University of Virginia discovered in its recent polling and data analytics: “roughly 4 in 10 (41%) of Biden and half (52%) of Trump voters at least somewhat agree that it’s time to split the country, favoring blue/red states seceding from the union.”

It’s conceivable that the percentage for a separation would be higher among Biden backers had Donald Trump won reelection. And the percentage lower among Trump-backers if the 2020 outcome was different. Nonetheless, the poll does reveal broadening agreement.

Why a civil divorce won’t happen -- if a divorce comes at all -- is that it fails to account for the opposition; that is, the hard left -- Mark Levin’s aptly described “American Marxists” -- who’d regard a friendly national divorce (or any divorce) as contrary to who and why they are.

This hard left cohort is ascendant in the Democratic Party and among “progressives.” That’s been the case for a while. It’s they who would have to be reckoned with in any drive to separate the country.

There’s ample history, dating back to the Russian Revolution, that Marxist-Leninists (or variations, like Maoists and fascists) are never about subtraction. They’re about addition. They’re about power acquisition -- often through violence. They crave domination.

Secession

It's time for us to jettison those who reject our national values because there's no changing them. Time to secede.

We should extend the invitation to secede on a county by county basis.

While we're at it, since we'd be forming a new country, we should extend the invitation to counties in Canada and Mexico as well.

Note that this option is becoming increasingly popular. https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/4000029/posts

Biden has darn sure divided the USA and made terrible decisions. We must dump him and Harris who is 50% India genes and 50% Jamaica.

Perhaps we should proclaim our commitment to the outright defeat of this leftist scourge

Not seeing that happen peacefully...to quote the author, Read Marx, study Lenin.

Their arrogance allows for nothing less than capitulation, no matter how ridiculous their cause du jour.

We’re losing the law to prosecutors who refuse to prosecute crimes of their ideological friends and come down hard against those who refuse to bow. Courts are more and more backing them up. Just read the judicial comments of the judges of the 1/6 trials. Rulings in our favor are becoming the outliers, not the norms.

When you do not hold the power, IOW, defeating them is almost impossible. There ain’t a lot of options left.

It’ll be a DINO.

The supposedly red state side will be horrifically infested with RINOs and Marxist sleeper cells.

It’s not just Biden & Harris, it’s the SYSTEM that put them in place.
