Trump threatened it would be “very dangerous” if he were jailed over the new charges he’s likely facing, citing the “passion” of his fan base.

Making the United States a union of sovereign territories instead of a country with a powerful federal government sounds like a familiar idea.

Yeah, at least a third of the states would immediately cozy up to them

You mean the ones that are also headed towards total societal collapse within the next decade? Yeah, I’m sure they’ll totally have plenty of resources to spare for a trans-pacific invasion when they can’t grow any crops.

Who said anything about that? This country should be split up entirely. It’s already completely unable to function by any reasonable standards, and for decades the harm it’s caused its own people and the world at large has been increasingly outweighing any good it does. Empires are always negative forces and should always be dismantled.

How would you split the country? There are heavily blue areas in red states and heavily red areas in blue states.

Or do you just want chaos?

I don’t have the solution, I just have the basic sense to see that what this country is is entirely unsustainable.

Weird that you start talking about Russia all of a sudden.

Yeah, Russia is significantly worse. We all know. That doesn’t change the fact that the US is sprinting head first into the woodchipper, too.

The person I replied to did:

The US is probably not going to survive as a unified nation for very long, and honestly, it probably shouldn’t.

Nope, I didn’t say anything about a “union of sovereign territories.” That was just you.
