The conservatives can have their countries where English is the official language and the only language on government documents. A country that acknowledges that it is a Christian based society, and while not forcing Christianity on its citizens, acknowledges that it will not act in a vacuum with no influence from Christianity.

Heck the Big Sky country could have hardly any government if they want and largely just be the wild west if they want. The countries would not just be split geographically but also based on culture, religion and language.

Am I that crazy? Obama himself keeps spewing that he would've won a third term and how popular he is, despite what a lot of polls say. Of course Obama would never go to Appalachia where he has eliminated all their jobs and is hated.

Obama's comments after the election show that he truly views himself as a king, and IMO that is very dangerous thinking.

I've got several democrats in my family. I don't want them to have to move across the country just so that you don't have to interact with people who have a different perspective than you.

I respect that you're trying to argue your point honestly, but this is a complete non-starter of a proposal for 95% of the country.

You'd be far better served arguing for marginal changes than something as monumental as this. You might actually be able to make a difference that way

That's the whole point (outside of your stupid white nationalist comment), the liberals will be able to have their countries where religion and God himself is either extremely limited or downright outlawed, which is what they want. They can have their open society where all ethnicities are welcomes. They can have their urban utopias. The conservatives can have their countries where English is the official language and the only language on government documents. A country that acknowledges that it is a Christian based society, and while not forcing Christianity on its citizens, acknowledges that it will not act in a vacuum with no influence from Christianity. Heck the Big Sky country could have hardly any government if they want and largely just be the wild west if they want. The countries would not just be split geographically but also based on culture, religion and language. Yes a lot of people would have to move to the country of their choosing but that's why I said I would give it a 10 year transition period.

I imagine that most people will stay where they are, but those who move are going to do so for economic/quality of life reasons--not because they want to be around people who look and pray like they do.

I've actually considered how such a fracturing would look and I think your rough breakdown is probably pretty close to how it would go (except we're not giving Hawaii or Alaska away. Presumably Hawaii would want to join the Pacific States and Alaska would team up with the square States. Be interesting to see how things shake out and who the winners and losers will ultimately be.

Thanks for reminding me never to take you seriously under any circumstances

It would definitely be interesting. Just extremely unlikely to happen in reality.

OP would be better served writing a fiction novel based in such a world than arguing for it's actual implementation over message boards.

I never said this whole process would be easy. While all of my immediate family (parents, siblings) are conservative in my extended family I have several liberals, including one who is pretty hard core liberal. Given we aren't crazy close but it wouldn't be easy. I never said sacrifices wouldn't have to be made. In many people's case they would have to decide whether they can live in a country that disagrees with everything they are and/or believe in to be close to family or whether they would move away from some family to be with people who share their values and beliefs. This has happened throughout history.

I understand this will never happen peacefully, but I wish it would. Since it won't the country will probably end up burning. No country can stay together when it's so divided, that is the flaw of a multi-cultural country., there's little to hold it together. A white rancher in Oklahoma has nothing in common with a black broadway performer in NYC. This country will not come together unless another World War broke out, if anything this country will drift further and further apart. How do you really think that will end?

You sure you don't mean athletic supporter?
