I see a huge split and a bitter fight coming in the not so distant future.

You may be right. Certainly the two sides hold each other in deep mutual contempt. We live in separate moral universes and scarcely speak the same political language. If a way could be found to do it, I suspect a surprisingly high percentage of conservatives would be relieved by a separation. So would many leftists, except that they could not live without a tax base.

I would vote for a "rezoning" if it were placed on the ballot.
