I imagine that the current level of political vitriol and animosity exceeds anything our country has experienced since the Civil War. For the sake of discussion, would there be any way to split the U.S. into separate countries?
A simple division along Red State/Blue State lines reminds me of the India partition which resulted in an unworkable East and West Pakistan separated by thousands of miles. Would an American partition of its East and Left Coasts prove similarly unworkable?
Perhaps they could join with Canada and form a contiguous Socialist Workers paradise?
No. No division will be acceptable. We Americans are divided by many ideologies, cultures, skin colors and religions, and yet we all occupy the same neighborhoods in cities, counties and small towns across the nation. Any geographical division would require mass relocation of many different social groups--some similar to the Trail of Tears or possibly the Bataan death march. Myself, I'd rather see our nation end before seeing he divided.
