The differences that divide us are not really political issues. As such, they can’t be resolved or compromised politically. Time to go.

What she wants is federalism. She’s right. We need more of it.

I also wouldn’t mind divorcing from DC.

You realize the Republican aka REd states will be starved globally in trade right? HOw you gonna make profit if no one will trade with you?

THe blue states will then be backed gobally and their citizen are happy to be second to the Chinese as long sa they are over the russians.

China will take Taiwan when they are ready to do so. The US will not stop them.

What is NEVER talked about?

Have a network drive? There are millions of them in the US and the software agreement with each one states that the license is governed by the laws of Taiwan. Oops.

And those Transcend thumb drives that have software that Amazon sells.

They would instantly have access to network drives across the US. Meanwhile our DA Reps in DC have never given it a thought.

Nope. For reference, see the Third Reich vs the Soviet Union. The Third Reich was technologically superior in the early days of the war and seemed to have the Soviets on the ropes. But the technology could not overcome the sheer numbers of men and materials the Soviets could bring to bear.

AND... the while German field generals were fighting brilliantly, the high command (Hitler) was an idiot who needlessly wasted the cream of his army... which is exactly our situation today. Brilliant field leaders. Utter idiots at the top (Milley, Austin, Biden, etc.).

America, led by Democrats, would be utterly brought to her knees. I say this regretfully as a flag-waving Patriot.

China has different goals. Everyone else wanted to subdue or convert them. China just wants the minerals. They will kill whoever they need to in order to accomplish that. Men, women, children, goats and scorpions will all die.

And with the UN, the media, and Biden* in their pocket nobody will say anything.

China has bigger financial problems than the US. I agree with Silverman. Peacefully Balkanize this bitch into 4-6 sovereign nations and let the chips fall where they may.

We had every bit of this (more, actually) when we got ran out of Nam… not saying we are weak but it’s never wise to underestimate an opponent.

That's the good news...the bad news is she likely wants us all herded into the dust bowl.

The allies thing? Ehhhh, nah. You stay on your side, I’ll stay on mine. Don’t want any of them trying to cross the border illegally when their side turns into Venezuela

I agree with her. I know I have absolutely no desire to peacefully coexist with left wingers anymore under any circumstances. I don't see them as a political entity, they have become more of a creepy cult like people I don't want anything to do with.

We need to find a way to amicably divide the country and get away from them, we have no common interests anymore and would just be better off going our separate ways. They've just become too weird to deal with honestly


That's practically verbatim what's in my head right now regarding the left. It would be amazing, but the left doesn't want peace. They don't want to go their separate ways, they want to conquer anybody that isn't in the cult and make them suffer. So much is made about race but as we saw with Larry Elder and all other black non-leftists, that doesn't really matter either. It's really just the outcasts that absolutely hate the "normies" and want to destroy them. 2021 left vs right is like a rematch of 2001 freaks vs the populars in school, and the freaks have been enabled and want revenge

Sarah Silverman is an idiot with hairy arms. No way we're better off broken up. Lincoln was right to keep the union together. We're stronger as one they we are as separate nations.

You don’t understand how China operates if you think this. Not saying you’re dumb, but it’d probably take me 20 minutes to explain why you’re wrong since it’s very complicated why you are wrong.

You know what's funny about liberals who call for a national divorce?

It shows they have no fundamental understanding of our nation's founding.

We WERE divorced. It's the left that FORCED us to get married.

Liberals don't seem to understand that state sovereignty is exactly what they WANT when the scream for a "national divorce".

Exactly. Rommel and many of the German generals have my respect, but you’re spot on why this is different. Xi Jinping and everyone in his inner circle are fricking geniuses, and we’ve got a bunch of cowards, traitors, idiots, and buffoons leading our country.

You’re right and you’re wrong at the same time. China does indeed want their materials and Afghanistan to have some autonomy, but they still want them completely bound to their will and never dare defy them. It’s complicated.

I don’t get the impression from Sarah Silverman, unlike her ex Jimmy Kimmel, that she hates the middle of the country or thinks she’s better than us. She has very much reached out to the other side and try to understand them. Kimmel on the other hand has directly said good riddance to his fans that were on the Right. Jimmy I think comes from a bad place and is a genocidal lunatic at this point, but Sarah doesn’t want us dead like Jimmy does.

Would never work.


Wokeness is an ideology that expands without limit. You break up the country...and wokeness will still infiltrate into the nonwoke areas. It will still play on the emotions of regular people and inflict them with shame and self hatred. After a while, the nonwoke areas will be in as much chaos as our country is in now.


Because unlike the woke areas, the nonwoke areas will embrace freedom of speech.

Only way to fight against such an invasive ideology.. is to do away with the freedom of speech and start targeting those who are woke. But that would make the nonwoke areas as bad as the woke areas. So that's not a solution.

Just need to wait about fifty to a hundred years for a new equally as invasive ideology to take over. At that time, all things woke will be tossed in the trash and all the woke monuments and statues will be destroyed, imo. That future ideology, whatever it is, will probably be scarier than wokeness though.
