What's up with her saying things I agree with lately?
We need at least to be split into two countries if not more. There is no reconciliation possible at this point.
Long live Cascadia!
Or how about 50-odd countries? Perhaps you could form some kind of union.
Well as long as we're saying the federal government has too much power, yes, it obviously does.
balkanization. blue states form a coalition with the other blue states, and red can ally with themselves, and ask russia for assistance. and the first step of legislation is expelling the GOP from the blue states.
As a non-American, speaking on behalf of quite a number of other non-Americans, we're fine with balkanization. Fuck with each other for a few decades, for a change.
I'll need a new family, then. sigh
EDIT: Okay, I need one now, but it'll be official post-split.
It's a new country, not a new planet. Families can live across borders
Isn't almost every state basically a 50/50 split only slightly leaning one way or the other with the majority of each faction separated by urban and rural/suburban living? Hell, Texas has the second largest LGBT population in the country.
Gay people don't decide where to get born!! Gay population is almost a direct function of population, and Texas is the second most populous state, so of course they have the second most number of gay people.
No, there are plenty of states that are very much blue or very much red.
Yeah? What's the split you have in mind?
Basically middle america and the south could be a country and then the eastern seaboard and the west coast could be their own countries as well.
Please don't lump me in with the South, thanks

I think when they said “middle America” they meant the straight line of states directly east of us, fellow Coloradan.
My hypothetical worry lies with Utah, then. How do they work in what I'm calling the Craft Beer Union?
Haha. I think Colorado would be a part of the western country.
