It is not unheard of to make up “statistics” on the spot, in support of what would be, logically, a highly unpopular issue.
Stereotyping taken to its most extreme application, and generalizations made from only very flimsy evidence, if any at all.
There is a very strong and persuasive argument for balkanizing the territory once known as “the United States of America” into separate “red” and “blue” republics. There would many, many small and sometimes isolated “blue” pockets, in the much larger and nearly contiguous “red” republic.
The “red” republic, would continue to embrace all the traditional applications of the legal code that worked so well for a couple of centuries or so before a concerted effort was made to dismantle it, while the “blue” republics could just go ahead with whatever set of cockamamie rules they wanted to govern themselves by. However, there should be a very sharp boundary enforced between the larger “red” republic, and smaller “blue” republics. Those who are dissatisfied with life in the “red” republic would be freely allowed to emigrate to any of the “blue” republics, but once moved, they would have no right of return.
For any reason.
Conversely, should there be refugees from the “blue” republics that wish to migrate to the “red” republic, only after a very stringent period of testing and demonstration of long-term future loyalty, would they be permitted to gain permanent residency in the “red” republic.
Sounds good to me! I’m tired of constantly having to divine the truth from their lies.
One way that Switzerland has remained a viable country with high standards is their ten-year waiting period for citizenship applications.
