I’m glad you get it.
Have you also figured out that the Civil War rhetoric that is currently raging is also a proxy war between conservatives and Liberals?
This country is literally unwinding. It will likely in the next 15 years break up into Regional coalitions like the Soviet Union did.
I believe it is a bit naive to think that even a regional split would work. For example, my home state of Maryland is herself cleaved down the middle, with the west and east very conservative, with the major population centers very liberal cutting a swath from the PA border down to the DC beltway (Prince Georges County and Montgomery County).
I suspect other states are not terribly different. Even your Georgia with her major population centers. In order to have your regional dream come true, you may have to finish what Sherman started. Burning Atlanta to the ground. And then what separates you from him?
I know it sounds crazy and completely unworkable, given the degree of intransigence on both sides, but for America to be successful and prosperous again, we will need to take National interests to heart, not simply regional ones.
Turning my fantasy world projection system off now.
