I’m very much in favor of the “peaceful divorce.” That is the best option we can get.
It is no longer just one or many red states against one or many blue states. Many states that are technically ‘blue’ are that way because of just a few immensely infested rat cities and/or counties. NY State is one. California is another. Georgia, and many, many others. Our rat infested cities are inextricably linked to red states and blue.
The only solution I see is forcing separation by states’ legislatures (where control is often in hands) and walling up the cities or make staying there untenable for its denizens (i.e., stop Section 8, EITC, SNAP, and other handouts) so they’ll up and leave to go north or wherever.
The best case scenario would be peaceful dissolution like the USSR. But I fear a mega-Yugoslavia.
So were the confederates, but those in power in the corrupt city of Washington DC were not going to let that happen in 1861, and they won't let that happen today.
The corrupt city of Washington DC is fed by tribute from us, and they will never let us go free.
You are right.
Secession.
Except my ideal would be geographical split. East vs west. America-lovers get the East because it’s the root and we love our past. We can keep our capital and all our historic sites AND statues. Commie libs can have the dessert lands and have fun trying to maintain them “Greenly”, when there is no green.
I indeed hope we get a peaceful divorce but marxist hardly ever give up anything peacefully. I do think that the 2nd Amendment is the only reason Biden hasn’t pulled a Trudeau and he may try it still.
If three percent of gunowners rebel that is a heck of a lot of people to try and control and run an overseas empire.
