You mean like liberals leaving the crap hole they created and move to Texas, Florida etc. and do the same there?
That ain’t going to work. As long as people are free to move across state lines nothing will change.
The state of this union is akin to a couple in a clearly broken marriage that decides to appear to stay together for financial reasons. There is no nationhood here anymore, considering if 9-11 happened today, the left half of the country would be cheering on Al-Qaeda. This Union is no more; it’s irretrievably broken.
If someone is cheated on there’s no hope to save a union unless on is a fool.
If they do it once they will do it again same if a woman is hit.
The trick is to lose a world war without too much being nuked.
If diversity makes you stronger, Austria-Hungary would have won WWI.
The opposite is more likely the case. That is, for an independent Texas to start absorbing chunks of Mexico, eliminating the gangs from their annexations before pumping them full of prosperity the likes of which they have never seen.
All the while, the remaining Mexico would be in a situation of reform itself or die. This would mean finally discarding its “Old Europe Disease” of a hyper wealthy pseudo nobility families lording it over the peasantry.
And how would Mexico’s government allow that to happen?
Entire cities, and even states, in Mexico are under de facto control of drug gangs, and the national government has made little or no effort to assert control. Assuming Texas has left the US and formed their own nation, given certain guarantees, I would not be surprised for the Mexican government to cede some degree of control in exchange for Texas to clean up the mess.
It would not have to be violent, or promise violence to those other than criminals. Instead it could be like a limited term peace treaty, with a part of Mexico acting like Hong Kong and Macau for 50 or 100 years.
The problem with that is I see the Federal government using its budget to bail out those left leaning states from money from the successful states.
“I want a divorce. I no longer want democrats of any flavor to have any say over how I should be governed.”
I am with you. Our own Government is a far greater danger to our freedom than Russia and China combined.
Democrats feel the US has on stolen land with no right to exist.
What’s the compromise with that?
I think the solution is for Democrats to be repatriated with their former geographic areas.
