Chances US Balkanizes in next 50 years? by TrueTiger
it's a lock to happen
the differences are irreconcilable
half the people believe in 57 genders the other half know there are only 2
If we were divided strictly on ideology I believe Prog/Dim leftists and conservatives could tenuously coexist but it’s not ideology that’s the irreconcilable barrier....it’s the untreated mental illness that 70% of the left suffers from.

I walked through a county courthouse square
On a park bench, an old man was sittin' there.
I said, "Your old court house is kinda run down,
He said, "Naw, it'll do for our little town".
I said, "Your old flag pole is leaned a little bit,
And that's a ragged old flag you got hangin' on it".
He said, "Have a seat", and I sat down,
"Is this the first time you've been to our little town"
I said, "I think it is"
He said "I don't like to brag, but we're kinda proud of
That Ragged Old Flag
"You see, we got a little hole in that flag there,
When Washington took it across the Delaware.
and It got powder burned the night Francis Scott Key sat watching it,
writing "Say Can You See"
It got a rip in New Orleans, with Packingham & Jackson
tugging at its seams.
and It almost fell at the Alamo
beside the Texas flag,
But she waved on though.
She got cut with a sword at Chancellorsville,
And she got cut again at Shiloh Hill.
There was Robert E. Lee and Beauregard and Bragg,
And the south wind blew hard on
That Ragged Old Flag
"On Flanders Field in World War I,
She got a big hole from a Bertha Gun,
She turned blood red in World War II
She hung limp, and low, a time or two,
She was in Korea, Vietnam, She went where she was sent
by her Uncle Sam.
She waved from our ships upon the briny foam
and now they've about quit wavin' back here at home
in her own good land here She's been abused,
She's been burned, dishonored, denied an' refused,
And the government for which she stands
Has been scandalized throughout out the land.
And she's getting thread bare, and she's wearin' thin,
But she's in good shape, for the shape she's in.
Cause she's been through the fire before
and i believe she can take a whole lot more.
"So we raise her up every morning
And we bring her down slow every night,
We don't let her touch the ground,
And we fold her up right.
On second thought
I *do* like to brag
Cause I'm mighty proud of
That Ragged Old Flag"

The best solution is the free city model like in he old days (Augsburg of Germany was a famous one). A city can decide everything from trade policy to immigration within its borders, leaving non city area alone. Look at Chicago and Illinois, the state it holds hostage bc of its population size.

Small countries are def. better govern than the big boys. Look at Singapore, New Zealand, Iceland, Netherlands, etc.

The Left is bifurcated. You have elites and you have the rest. The elite left, like Russia, China, Venezuela, etc, will always prosper. Once the rest come to this realization, it’s over.
Left wing top down ideology is pure evil. It, at its core, hates the individual and freedom.

We’re already Balkanized. The only question is what comes next.

Sure. Who gets the weapons.?
The first breakaway entity who claims a strategic weapon system will get deleted. Unless you want to establish yourself as Portugal and pray for protection. If it ever gets to that point, the generals will make the decisions. And no one is going to like the results. Look at the Muslims in western China. That’s what you’ll get.
You like what you have? You get to keep that because we’re the baddest mother frickers on the planet. You throw that protection away with Balkanization. You want to give up being the best because orange man bad, or queer guy wears a dress?
So yeah. Congratulations on becoming Albania.

In 50 years? No.
In 100 years? Cannot rule out "No".

But you are a member of a party that has a Socialist running.
That said socialist has praised Venezuela’s system in the past.
How is Venezuela doing now?
Now. You were saying?

Zero. The average American isn’t consumed by politics like the average pb user. Life is pretty good when you step away from all this toxicity.
