So it hasn't been an issue when CA doing this for decades, and eventually forcing stuff on the rest of the nation? This people live in a bubble that needs to be popped.

No doubt a reasonable suggestion.

An amicable separation would be more feasible but I fear the authoritarian establishment will never let the two "sides" peacefully divide.
What does this even mean?
I stand by the Flag. If my state somehow decides to secede from the United States of America, how is forcing me from my home in any way "amicable"?
Keep in mind, more people voted for Trump in California than Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and South Carolina combined. How do you see them living amicably in a supposed socialist California?
This isn't 1861 anymore.

Today's toxic atmosphere makes it difficult to negotiate on important issues, which makes people angry with the federal government and has helped create a winner-take-all approach to politics.

which are their "extraordinary means". Progs are nothing if not SEVERELY DISHONEST.
quote:see "SEVERELY DISHONEST" above. What has made the USA distinctly American is its republicanism - by which MOB CONTROL and MOB VIOLENCE like the progs have perpetrated from 2016 to present - are unable to control the significant majority.
Walter adds: "The U.S. used to be considered a full democracy like Norway, Switzerland or Iceland," she said, "and it's now considered a partial democracy like Ecuador, Somalia or Haiti."
STEALING THE 2020 ELECTION, as was UNDOUBTEDLY DONE, is the outward expression of their totalitarian intention. It is the reason that free Americans are standing against them.
Further evidence of their governmental adventurism is the weaponization of government that has been taking place since the first term of Frank Marshall Davis' son, one Barak Hussein Obama.
You knew something was not right when Lois Lerner got away with her crimes then slinked off into 6 figure retirement untouched. The resistance was strirred then when Americans noticed the IRS became a weapon.
Then more and more apparent as Clapper, Brennan, McCabe, Comey, the shenanigans of Russiagate, the pervasive spying and interference on the Trump administration, the media/propagandist complex that has connected itself to communists like the Democrat Party.
and ah, that media, there is a complete industry committed to treachery and to freedom everywhere in this world.
"Suggesting an explosive conclusion while tacitly acknowledging the absence of verified evidence to support it was also a hallmark of the Mueller and the Senate Intelligence Committee reports on Russiagate, which used long-winded innuendo and words like “appear," "likely" and “suggest” to insinuate damning conclusions without having to substantiate them."
Attempts to imply that the two sides are in any way equally aggressive or to be equally blamed are brought to you by mass formation Psychoses. There is no comparison - Progs are enemies of the USA.

Not buddy buddy, amicable.
Yes. It would probably mean that over some measure of time, people would find that they desire to move, which should be facilitated.
Also, I don't really think that when it finally happens, it will follow state borders perfectly. But, still, to your point, there will be "refugees".
That still beats a shooting conflict. The problem though is this. Areas that became conservative would be totally fine with having leftist neighbors and with continuing to act as generally cordial nations. We'd be happy to do business, happy to trade, happy to allow travel.
Alas, you know as well as I do that the liberal areas would do no such fricking thing.

It's fantasies like this that make people like you so dangerous to our country.
There is nothing amicable in forcing me from my home in order for me to maintain my citizenship.
The Flag:
...doesn't represent the military. It doesn't even represent the Constitution. The Flag represents The UNION. You want to dissolve the Union, you disrespect the flag. I can't abide hypocrites that would claim to be patriots on the one hand, and on the other hand force "good people who only [ask] to live in peace at their old homes, and under the Government of their inheritance. "
I would fight ANY effort to dissolve the Union. Take your treasonous bullshite and shove it up your arse.

When this war actually starts it won’t take long for these dickheads to realize they’ve made a terrible mistake. They have been pushing and pushing for years and the right has just taken it but when they finally provoke the response they are looking for it they will sue for ceasefire and truce.
This is why the final step prior to the cold civil war turning hot will be an attempt to remove guns from society. There will be calls for the disarming of the population because there are "violent right wing extremists" who wish to "do harm to the democracy". Basically what every totalitarian state has always done in the history of totalitarianism.

The bottom line is that you are confusing geography with what the flag stands for.
The flag doesn't stand for the union of 50 locations. It stands for PRINCIPLES that those 50 locations all decided they wanted to be a part of.
If, somehow, the nation turned full Marxist, the flag wouldn't stand for that at all.............even if all 50 states remained.

Look at this fricking double-speak.
There's someone ITT getting upvotes for mocking the article for saying it's in decline:

we had been watching "American democracy decline since 2016."
Now you say it's already dissolved. Sheeple believing ridiculous talking points, indeed.

More double-speak. You want to dissolve the Union and accuse others of dissolving the Union. You're a fraud.

Of course it would, as long as it was done in a lawful, Constitutional manner. Make no mistake, I wouldn't vote for it.
