Am I crazy to think we should split the United States down the middle. Give democrats and liberals one side. They can do whatever they want. And give conservatives our own side. Nobody is allowed to cross. Which side do you think will thrive?

This is what needs to happen. If America is to survive as a superpower we have to ditch the red shithole states holding us back.

I actually do think this may be our only option to save us atp 😭 we're just SO RADICALLY divided, we can't proceed atp. Yup, split red states into one nation, and blue into another. (With a few major cities within red states shuffling to the blue nation like Philly)

We already know this. All red states are broke and depend on blue state tax revenue to keep their govts solvent. So deal let’s do it

We tried this, please see the economics of the south during the civil war. It says exactly what you think

The confederates tried exactly this and look what happened to them

Have you considered that maybe blue run states attract those industries with their higher quality of living and better incentives for businesses and growth? Skill issue tbh

OP 20w

Have you thought about why they are divided? Blue states and red states don’t exist in a vacuum. Areas that are doing well economically will be more diverse and better educated so more liberal. Conservatism relies on a lack of education and on the racial fears of rural white people especially in the South

OP 20w

You don't know what DEI means, and that has more to do with state conditions creating higher populations of individuals with certain political beliefs/values. The shitty education and whatnot in these states birth a majority red population. The access to better systems, education, and more diverse populations birth majority blue populations. Hmmmmmm. You can look into why that is if you'd like.

So you do recognize systemic inequalities when they affect you

Why does there need to be a war? Seems it would be a better outcome for everyone instead of constantly arguing and achieving nothing, so why can't it be a mutual agreement?

Exactly. It would actually be perfect 😭. On our side you’d have law and order, strong families, kids playing outside safely, and everybody going to church on Sundays. On your side it’d be complete chaos. Mixed gender sports teams, mixed gender bathrooms, and no police. Just an emotional support counselor showing up when someone gets robbed. Kicker would be ICE deporting you guys back to the lib side when all inevitably try to sneak in 😭😭😭

“Guys why don’t we do the partition of India that famously went well last time”

I see. I think I would've been ok with them seceding if they didn't have slaves. But we liberals couldn't allow that horrible system to continue. Lincoln made the right call in preserving the union but ending slavery.

“Guys we couldn’t let the racists form their own country because they were going to hurt minorities. But I’m arguing for that to happen again now”

Conservatives wanted to conserve slavery. Abolition was the progressive position at the time.

Where did I say that? The blue country would obviously take in everyone who was persecuted by the red country.

So if you lived in that time you would have gone to war and sent your family to war to free slaves from a land you otherwise hate

So people must leave their homelands where they have lived for hundreds of even thousands of years if they’re Native American. Or else they risk being ruled by a racist state? Do you think mass relocations go well? Have you read about the partition of India? Or the expulsion of Mizrahi Jews? Or the Greece-turkey population exchange?

How do you mandate that they are red or blue states? Are they under one party rule? Are those who are too red expelled? Are there elections? If the government says someone is too conservative do they lose their voting rights? What happens when the politics of a state shifts to be more red or more blue?
