re: i have some questions about this red and blue state thing. I’ll play along so Fire away.

The idea is that red states would be ran by republican officials with republican policies... not that all democrats will have to live in blue states and Republicans all in red states.

The policies would sort the population out though.. when red states are hard on crime and blue states are basically lawless, alot of the dems in red states would flock to the blue states and Republicans in blue states would flock to the red states

This is the logical answer.

Federal laws would be changed to pursue what the left or right believes. Samples include changing tax structures, changing federal workplace laws, changing priorities for funding the military, welfare, social programs, infrastructure, etc.

New/changed laws would sort the people out. If you are living in a red state and hate the way they are going hard at controlling immigration, you would move to a blue state where they have a bleeding heart and less stringent laws.

It seems to me that this could work out if done logically and cordially by both sides, but what has to be sorted out is economic factors like how commerce is handled and trade agreements.

It could be similar to the EU. Do Norwegians hate the French, or do they trade with each other but still stick to their ideologies? I am not a historian but I don't see the EU in a civil war or ICBM threats happening between countries within the EU.

Unfortunately I doubt that an amicable divorce could happen. Democrats are used to spending other people's money, and when that gravy train ends with wealth moving out, it will likely cause a civil war.

We understand that social entitlements are a hand up, not a golden ticket.

Can i still stay here and not be bullied

The right isn't really into bullying like the left is.

Conservatives mostly want to be left alone.
