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.
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.
Your solution ignores that all we really need to do (and I say that like it’s easy but I acknowledge it’s not) is remove the parts of our system that prevent an accurately representative government. Stuff like the electoral college, the cap on House seats, and the dominance of plurality voting. The root problem we see here is that a minority of people have more power over the government than the majority of people.
Like I said, this is much easier typed out than done, but it is not impossible, and is much more likely to succeed than “make a fascist country and give it a humongous border with the democratic country that it views as ‘the enemy’” Even if there were a clean way to split it up (there isn’t: cities are blue, rural areas are red), much of the red state’s income comes from the federal taxes from blue states. Do you really think that’s going to end well?

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.
Do you think that Americans do not understand that it is precisely because the USA is the most successful country in the world that foreigners try to shit on us?
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.
