Balkanization is the best we can hope for - I've been saying it for years. Now, imagine if it could be done peacefully and bloodlessly. That's the rub.
I'm not certain that can be done. The country is diametrically opposed. What the other side wants is not sustainable if we want to preserve our constitutional republic.
Unfortunately, as history demonstrates, factions that want two very different things, usually doesn't end peacefully.
Part of the problem is the red states have things the blue states want. It would not be a friendly divorce. And they would likely refuse to even consider secession. It would indeed be a second Civil War, but I'm not sure it's avoidable at this point. God help us.
there are almost no blue "states." there is merely a red country with a handful of blue city-states that are controlling everything. and all of those blue city-states are shit holes.
I think a peaceful solution would be best for everyone. It's become very apparent one side has nothing in common with the other. Let's just split the kids and move on. Another option is Texit. Texas came into the union has its own State and its constitution allows it to leave.
Right there with you. I wish I could believe Texas or Alaska might be real candidates for peaceful secession, soon. I'd be happy to move to either. I love the US and don't think there is anything fundamentally wrong with our nation or people in general. DC is the problem.
Convention of States OR outright secession. I don't think there's a lot in between.

The rub indeed.

Hope I'm wrong....we'll see.

Agree.
If either were a realistic, and peaceful, option I for one would be fully supportive.

IтАЩm guessing you havenтАЩt been to New Mexico. There is plenty wrong with the people here.
