Unlike the prior American Revolutions, this time both sides might be OK with a peaceful split -- like the Norway/Sweden split. Here is a proposed map circulated by the Left after John Kerry was defeated in 2004.

It does not have to be a full split. All 50 states could remain organized for mutual self defense and other things authorized by the Constitution. "USA" could refer to something more like NATO -- the original US govt was more similar to NATO than it was to our current Socialist Nation State. A subset of states could voluntarily join together in a multi-state Socialist system. We did it before with Free States and Slave States, and we can do it again.

Looking at your map, it seems best to form regional blocks of States that have various agreements with other blocks of States.

For example, the XL Pipeline States would include Montana and North Dakota south to Texas., etc.

On the Fourth of July each year there could be a stage play on the National Mall with actors from all fifty of the former States.

The topic of the play would be decided each year by the Regional State that had the greatest profit.

No plays would be held in years when none of the Regional States had a profit.

Cool! How’d we end up with Alberta? Do we have to take Neil Young, too?

My views are similar. However, I'd like Pennsylvania tossed over to the Reds since I live here. B-P Seriously, I do think we do need some sort of split because the two basic views in this country are diametrically opposed and 180 degrees out of phase. Either we split peacefully or we go at it where one of us wins. If I had money to bet, I'd bet on us but I'd rather see a peaceful split where no one gets hurt. Let's face it, we can't live with them, they can't live with us so a divorce is a good idea. Either that or we throw out the progressives, ship them and their stuff (furniture, cars, whatnot) to a country of their choice and anything they cannot take like property, we will compensate them for and they can start a new life in Sweden, Cuba, North Korea, Spain or where ever they choose to go. I know that will be expensive, but I'm willing to foot the bill in return for a much, much less costly welfare system that will care for the old and people who cannot work due to a bonafide condition, no BS cases.

I’m not interested in divorce or a “peaceful split”. Neither is the left. They intend to deport us, put us in re-eduction camps, or kill us.
