Do you think that you could fight division with division? I know how that sounds but hear me out.

What do you think would happen if blue states and red states made a pact to try and heavily incentivize all people on the left to relocate to blue states and all people on the right to relocate to red states?

Perhaps the reason things are so hostile between the aisles has a lot to do with the fact that people who want vastly different things from their government are being forced to live under the same lawmakers and enforcers. If they had their own dedicated spaces don't you think that would allow for a great deal of decompression? Distance makes the heart grow fonder and all that?

Sometimes the solution to issues can seem counterintuitive but work very well; for example, did you know that if someone bites you the best thing to do is to force whatever part of you they're biting into their mouth as hard as you can?

Your first instinct will be to snatch it away but that will give them room to bite down harder. If you force it into their mouth it will open their jaw and allow you to quickly remove your appendage from their teeth.

Short term it would actually be brilliant and work out very well

Eventually they would wind up in civil war and even possibly splitting up and warring against each other

When people from the left get power it will be a totalitarian government that takes over, as all communist countries have gone before it

@th3r0n i feel that with proper checks and balances a civil war could be avoided.

I think that a good follow up measure would be to forbid Federal level politicians from being associated with the left or the right in any way shape or form. Federal level politicians, in this scenario, should be legally required to be impartial to either side.

That way the military will not be under the control of either the left nor the right, and policies such as mandatory national retaliation against whoever the agressor is can be enacted without fear of it being twisted into an excuse to wage war.
