Civil war or national breakup.
Yeah, I know, it can't be done because of laws. Until it does.
The right has felt white hot hatred for us. And now, many on our side reciprocate that same intense hate.
If red states and blue states were a married couple, the reason for their divorce would be irreconcilable differences.
If you look at a map, the lightly populated flyover states, joined with the southeast and Tejas form a solid block. Illinois and Michigan are cut off from the blue west and upper east coasts.wation so badly splite could connect all the blue states if we could convince Canada to adopt us.
Anyway, lots of musing, but am I alone in seeing our nation on the brink of crisis?

After the Civil War, it went somewhat covert - but the schism is indeed becoming overt

No. It's like a blog I hate-read, a woman who constantly fights with her husband. For decades.

Experts say the 'civil war' wouldn't so much be a geographical split ..
