    Well, looks like Putin’s 4D chess worked even better than he could have anticipated. The US want to dissolve themselves now. Crazy how the world changed in just 10 years.

      It’s not at all crazy- it’s been happening for two generations in slow motion with warning signs along the way. Literally everyone watching has been telling you you have been on this exact path for about 30 years.

      You responded with “shut up, you’re America’s hat,” renamed french fries, and gradually got shittier from there.

    Government is not answer, God is.

    Turn your full faith and trust to our Almighty God and our Savior Jesus.

    Tighten your circle around your family and protect them at all times.

    They really just can’t comprehend that they’re violent far right religious extremists…

    Can they?

    Like, if you translated what Christian Republicans and the Taliban wanted into a neutral 3rd language, I really don’t think people would be able to tell which is which.

    These dumbfucks don’t even realize “God” and “Allah” are literally the same fucking dirty and they agree on 99.9999%.

    It’s like when one far right extremists shoots another far right extremist in the neck because there’s 2-3 details they disagree on.

    If anyone isn’t exactly the same, they’re “them” and an enemy.

    If we did actually split the country, their side would just keep picking new groups to run out of their territory until there’s no one left on their side.

      It will be true that it will be way more expensive for Red Staters to move to Blue states. Since Red States already have shittier and weaker economies.

      Except this particular idea isn’t quite as crazy as her other ideas. It’s really gotten to the point that the Red States and the Blue States lack a common purpose or any reason to be united. A gentle split into two countries, one founded on the principles of The Enlightenment and another with the laws and mores of Bronze Age herders- e. g. JesusLand, makes sense to me. As long as the latter doesn’t have nuclear weapons.

    How would it work exactly? It’s not like most people could just up and move. Unless you do it by id system. Blue you get out in a national healthcare type system. Red you keep paying the health insurance companies.

    Blue vs blue crime, blue judge. Red vs red, red judge. Red vs blue crime the criminal to go face whatever the victim or plantiff is.

    But as far as a leading president, no idea how that would work

        You mean making a dreamboard and doing research but then all your money gets eaten up by car repairs, healthcare gaps, and little emergencies because living options are actually for the middle class? And minimum wage is for starving a little with too many roommates?

    Sounds like a scam.

    Anyway, I don’t think we should tolerate red states letting kids grow up hungry or get bullied to death.

    That’s what federation was for.

      NGL, everyone here who is ready to throw the browns, gays, and neurospicies, and 70% bottom earning sapiens from half of u.s. states under the bus instead of slaying the gerrymander that’s choking everyone to death…?

      Idk. Sounds kind of like “If I sacrifice the other family to the face eating jaguar the face eating jaguar won’t eat my face and my family next month.”

      Sounds too familiar. We all know how that goes.

    I am down with that, I’ll stand with all the productive blue states, GOP Nazis can take the bible belt and Southern ‘confederacy’.

    I’ll happily trade houses with someone in the West who wants to join their conservative bretheren.

        Right? Guess we don’t matter? Except if we leave, the random queer and neurospicy kids grow up with 0 examples and are completly PTSD’ed even if they do make it out.

        Sounds great. /s

        Too many people still intuit that people they percieve as stupid will produce inferior offspring. We’re more like apple trees — There are a lot of things can’t be cut out of nature by humans even with crispr. There’s a lot of emergence, and odds.

        The first and last 6 minutes of Idiocracy need to be reshot to demo the effect of chronic poverty on human development instead of Eugenics “dumb ppl make dumb ppl like disney boygirl offspring looks like parents”. All that environmental and emotional and nutritional neglect add up to medical grade damage for everyone, in diverse effect.

          I don’t disagree with that, but more to the point I was putting is there’s going to be a fast refugee crisis for the blue states for those of us that see the writing on the wall if the states fracture.

          I’ll be honest… I HOPE I’m wrong… god I fucking hope I am… but I’m not seeing a “United States” being the case much longer after this administration. Partly being one living in this area… I do not see how we come back… there is no middle ground left.

            There hasn’t been that much real middle ground for a long time.

            If the usa takes a hard left, and mean citizen occupation – only a few useful people are running for typical election – this fall coming next spring, we may trade a full blown, unchecked, fascism for a messy reconstruction.

            Basicaly we may get a second chance to NOT DROP THE BALL on reconstruction, like after the civil war. (tl;dr Jim Crow won, with redline icing on top)

            If fraudulent finance is still on control at capitals the coming summer, the evil will be entrenched, and it will be a lot more blood and ashes before we make it to warcrimes trials.

            Sorry. I traded almost all my hope for scholarship. But I keep the kettle fresh, and sometimes the oil lasts an extra day, even if it’s mere luck of helpful weather.

              I also gave up on leaving and joined all the queer and smart clubs around. I try visit the metro to soak uo queer friendly culture regularly. Not like me leaving would fix anything. Not really even for muself, as hard as it is to make a relocation stick if you’re not wealthy. And I like the biome I’m in anyway.

      Pretty sure they’re going to form super states like post Soviet countries, weaken the remaining union as much as they can, and then send national guard from super states to invade blue states.
