From AlterNet, “The highly-respected University of Virginia’s nonpartisan Center for Politics has released a new study that finds a majority of Trump voters believe it’s time to split the country into two, with ‘red states’ and ‘blue states’ seceding from the Union. The organization, headed by Larry Sabato of ‘Sabato’s Crystal Ball,’ reports that four in ten Biden voters agree. ‘The divide between Trump and Biden voters is deep, wide, and dangerous. The scope is unprecedented, and it will not be easily fixed,’ said UVA Center for Politics Director Larry J. Sabato. … Eight in 10 Biden and Trump voters say elected officials from the opposition party present a ‘clear and present danger’ to democracy. Almost eight in 10 Biden and Trump voters say Americans who support the opposite party have also become a ‘clear and present danger’ to the American way of life.”
I’ve been saying for well over a year now that America is headed toward another civil war, but I suppose I must amend that notion. We’re already at war as of 6 January 2021. Traitor trump, RepubliKKKlans, MAGA morons, evil evangelicals, and QAnon stormed the Bastille, and in so doing set the civil war smoldering. Things are about to get hotter! I totally agree that America should split into red and blue states. In the current arrangement, I am sick of my tax dollars flowing out of blue states (givers) and into red states (takers) because, by definition, conservatives are dumber and poorer, requiring handouts and entitlements from the smart, rich states. So by all means, buh-bye! Let the blue states with the largest, richest economies of the Union form our own country — California, New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois, etc. Let the states with the best universities in the world come together — MIT, Standford, Harvard, University of Chicago, Yale, Princeton, University of Pennsylvania, Columbia, Cal Tech, Northwestern. All the top universities in the world — and I mean all — are in blue states, and that is not a coincidence. So, by all means, let’s get the f*** out of the Union. The stupid states are dragging us down! Not to mention that the Capitol is already surrounded by blue states and the Capitol itself is vastly Democratic. I guess the red states can put their capital somewhere in Flori-duh! So, let the red states unionize and eventually wither on the vine; I mean given their predilection for unregulated gun ownership, “personal responsibility,” and being anti-science, they’ll end up killing themselves off soon enough. Then we can just invade and take over in a decade or so. Honestly, the blue states should still be occupying forces in the red states since 1865. Bring it! I will miss Orlando, though.
