I just moved to NW Arkansas, and that's the way it is in Arkansas.
However, I just moved out of San Jose, Ca, and that is not the way it is in San Jose.
San Jose has deteriorated fast. I moved in July, and supposedly things have gotten much worse.
Homeless were everywhere. San Francisco was really bad and I saw people shooting up on the streets while cops ignored them. I didn't see the drugs in San Jose, but I routinely saw people defecating on the streets.
Even in my expensive neighborhood of south San Jose, there was a huge homeless encampment. I couldn't even safely go walk my dog on the bike trail by myself.
During the BLM riots, a group of people set fire to the hill by my house. I had to pack up and prepare to be evacuated. Thank God, they put out the fire.
My hairdresser in San Jose lost her home of 20 years because she was not allowed to work.
My son in California is about to lose his job because of shutdowns.
Then the cost to run a home got so high, we as a retired couple could not afford it. Our electricity and water bills exploded. Our property tax went up every year as high as allowed by prop 13 (which they are trying to get rid of).
I could not put out a Trump sign in my yard. I lost friends because I voted for Trump. My support for Trump was tame. I just pointed out how Hillary was wrong about how to handle classified info. I had a top secret clearance.
Then on top of all that BS last year, my mom was brutally attacked and almost murdered by a black man.

The only way we come together is if we separate . If we split off from the democrats then they beg to come back . Slowly they would all come back to republicans part of the country. That’s he will never split up . Democrats politicians see the citizens leaving their states and it would be the same with their country.

Losers argument, same as when Hillary lost.
No, Democrats said Russians illegally influenced that election to cause Hillary to lose.
This time, Trump lost because there was fraud.

I know it was probably pointed out already but Constitutional Republic =/= a Democracy.
Regardless of what you call it, we now have neither. Remember your Group Think and maintain your smile at Party Functions Comrade.

I know things seem bleak, but we can come back from this. Tune-out the media. Hell, it might not hurt to ditch this board now and again. No offense...
Christians in China today can live fulfilling and happy lives, so long as they don't cross ways with the Regime. It will be the same way here in Leftist USA. None of this changes the truth of what the OP says.

NW Arkansas is quite nice. Good move.
Don't stop telling people about the dangers of unchecked Democratic Party power.

Any idiot who helped advance the power of the federal government over the years to where it is now contributed to making splitting necessary.
For all the good reasons we should split, we could have made that all work as one nation under a republic with limited federal government.

We've been Balkanized through irresponsible immigration practices that will ultimately lead to widespread destruction. If not in my lifetime it will absolutely be in my children's.

Better hurry up, because the USA is kaput and won't last for another 100 years before they give us a new flag and a new name.

We have never been a Democracy. 
Posted on 1/16/21 at 1:24 pm to burke985
Correct. This is the way DC, the Uniparty, and the Globalists want it.

I can honestly say as a 56 year old man that I don’t want to unite with the left. I don’t associate with any libs in my life and I don’t want God to think I agree with any of their beliefs. Why we’re still called the United States is a very sad joke. I see no solution other than radical steps to separate into separate governments and leave the progressives on their path to utopic destruction. I keep asking for Gods help to keep me from hating these people. My cheerful thoughts.

Well yeah.. I've noticed the the few hardcore Dems I know that they do want unity.. But they want Unity on thier terms without compromise.
Posted on 1/16/21 at 3:57 pm to burke985
The only way for anyone in this Country to be united is to hit rock bottom so painfully hard we have to revert back to the basics. Food, clothing, shelter, love. Gender pronouns, bathrooms, identity politics, social media, sports, reality shows, triple soy lattes, likes, followers, and all that other superficial shite will go out of the window when it comes to survival With the exception of a bunch of evil sociopathic fricksticks, people are inherently good who just want to be happy. But the media and the Government on both sides want us fighting and divided. And here we are...

Yea, we’ve never come back from division before, like you know when we had a civil war.

You could argue that we're a type of democracy. But it's certainly more accurate to say constitutional republic.
