I highly doubt the left will do anything uncivil. How can they win back the country? Is it too late?

    By finally doing what it clearly needs to do, splitting in multiple countries so red States can finally become third world countries like they so want to be.

      It’s funny that the last time this was floated by Republicans, they thought they were kicking the Democrat states out.

      In other words, they thought they were keeping the Federal government.

      Republican states need Democrat states far more than vice versa.

      If Trump truly does win, Republicans won’t split the country. They’ll make it even more impossible to leave.

        I mean, no matter who gets kicked out by who, there would be at least two federal governments… I think most people don’t realize that when a country splits, the (at least two) new entities both become independent countries with their own government…

      So where do you think the lines would get drawn? West Coast and New England + New York are the obvious ones to do their own thing. Pennsylvania cuts off the DMV area from New York/New England, unless we go on a county level and excise just the area around Philly to keep the whole northeast Atlantic together.

      Is Chicago just left as an island in the Midwest? The red staters certainly won’t want it, and without it Illinois basically is a red state. RIP to the other midwest and southern cities too.

      Colorado and New Mexico together would be quite fucked being landlocked in a sea of red otherwise.

      Congratulations to Hawaii on its regained independence I guess. Alaska would probably be offered up to Putin as a thank you gift from Trump.

      Do you think all the red states stay together as a single entity? Texas is an obvious candidate to decide to fuck off on its own, possibly Florida as well. But would South Carolina really care all that much to stay tied to Montana, for example, or vice versa?
