re: Culture war

We have reached the point where standing for the anthem and calling out those who do not is racist and divisive. Time for the Balkanization folks. USA had a good run. We are no longer united by common cultural norms. Why should anyone from a red state serve to defend citizens of blue states who hate them and what they stand for?

I can understand the desire for balkanization.

However, the problem with any form of secession is that it is a slippery slope that could cause more instability.

Think about it, if we split over this what is to stop more states splitting off for a myriad of reasons. Texas wants to leave cause it feels its carrying the tax burden. South Carolina leaves cause it wants more freedom over workers rights.

The list goes on, and the only real winners are Russia and China controlling a world with a fractured US.
