This came up on Secular Talk and I think Kyle is right. Blue states should consider a national divorce. Can you honestly still present a single

upside to dragging around MAGA Trumpistan? I mean shit even Florida's beaches will be gone with coral reef collapse in a few decades.

Is dragging these people along for some national nostalgia still worth it?

@1490wayb How do you figure that? There is nothing magic about countries. They break apart all the time. One pretending to be one nation and 50 countries all at the same time it is a miracle it has taken this long.

And so what? the Democratic establishment despises the branch of their party that wants meaningful change even more than the GOP and most Americans know they led to the rise of MAGA.

They would also still be forced to cater to right wing extremists that actively consider blue states the enemy.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow imagine passing thru border security 20 times driving coast to coast or by rail

@1490wayb A national divorce would not be every blue state becoming a statelet. Many are a solid continuous mass along the Canadian border.

And 50 tiny statelets is what will likely happen anyway. The US is currently going down the path of 1990s USSR.

@1490wayb And I use blue state as more of a short hand. States with more progressive ideas and views. That are not necessarily reflected by Gerrymandering districts and the results of that.
