re: Serious Question about a national divorce

I don’t understand how anyone could seriously consider ceding one square inch of land to marxist democrats. These people don’t believe in the Constitution, the rule of law, or capitalism.
How many here would consider such a divorce in the interests of keeping the peace, also think they could peaceably share a border with China, or North Korea, or Iran? Either you would be at their throat or they would be at yours, right?
Do you really think a marxist/socialist California would be any different? Pretend for a moment that they didn’t immediately collapse under the weight of their own marxist/socialist bullshite, and actually prospered for a time. Do you think they would rather have evil republicans, conservatives, capitalists, and Christians for neighbors, or more of their fellow communists? California makes a great beachhead for a billion or so Chinese to be invited to keep what they can take from the evil Americans, right?

No such thing. The country cannot be split peacefully on any level. Trying to draw lines that anyone would consider acceptable is not possible.
IT WOULD INVOLVE SACRIFICES. Some would have to make tough decisions to move and start over. Some would have to make tough decisions to stay behind in a country they would rather not be in. It’s never gonna be completely agreeable to everyone but it’s gonna be completely necessary. Personally, I’m very very rooted generationally where I live, but I’d leave if it means getting into a non-leftist whack job nation with few dindus. I suspect my relatives who make their living off the dirt would either have to stay behind …or sell out one. It won’t be easy but it’s gonna have to be done.

It wasn't directed at your person specifically, because I generally don't look at the names on mobile, but rather the people who insist on the national divorce idea.
Gotcha.
I didn't take it personally; your opinion is yours, and you're as entitled to it as anyone is.
I wasn't sure if you were one of those Texicants who wanted to argue, simply for the sake of arguing.
I understand that some people want to discuss the issue, while others are hellbent on claiming, "it can't happen," not willing to engage in a dialogue.
Appreciate your response and explanation.

If the damned Soviet Union can peacefully break up without firing a shot, then anyone could. It’s either a breakup or a suicide at this point. What cannot last will not.

Who told you that is what happened? and why do you believe that the USSR and the modern United States are similar in any meaningful way beyond being geographically large nation states with powerful militaries?

Their system and economy collapsed entirely first.

Exactly, I haven’t bought into this we can’t do it peacefully. The leftists better damn hope it is done peacefully.

None of which the vast majority of Americans are prepared to make.

And you don't think we're headed for the same fate?

Why do so many of yall want to give up vast swaths of country to appease a bunch of urban nuts?

quote:I can't deal with that. I say there should be no such thing as "public education." Instead, some sort of voucher system should be set up to let the residents of each state decide which private school their child attends. In theory, it should be the same for state-supported colleges and universities and trade schools. However, that might not be viable for a few years. Critical Race Theory and other Marxist garbage will be banned from the start though. Also, no more exchange students from Red China and the ones already here will be on the next flights out of here. That's all for now.
We would also need to mandate patriotic and Christian education instead of teaching kids to hate the country. Not a theocracy mandated but even more overtly Christian in my opinion.

So why click the thread?

No need at all!
You need no one's permission to click on any thread.
I just think you're interested in engaging in a dialogue about the topic; you're a smart guy.
I could be wrong (about your interest in the topic, not your intelligence).

Not a serious question

The logistics concerning a secession are overwhelming. Commerce, transportation, energy, etc. And, as others already mentioned, urban areas which are mostly blue, are in the middle of rural areas which are mostly red. Geographically it doesn't work.
Not to mention the sheer amount of DoD bases, federal parks, and federally owned land sprinkled all over the USA.
Just extremely unrealistic.
But we have this thread every other week.

Well I for one would (make sacrifices for a new country/territory). I love where my roots are mainly because of the people, but if it meant I could give future generations a better life away from whackos and ghetto thugs, I would.

Every single issue you raised has been considered and addressed. I'd break them down individually, but I'm aware I hijack every TEXIT thread; I'm trying to exercise restraint.
FTR ... I only WISH this topic was raised every other week.

All Part of Their plan, dense cities in purple states make it easy for voter fraud.
