    Split up the USA… who would benefit from that most? Ah yes Russia and China. As if any more proof that the US government are assets.

      Regardless of what would benefit anyone, a (supposedly) democratic country cannot continue having such a massive divide between its government and its citizens. Something has to give.

    “it’s not safe for anyone”… Because you’re actively making it that way, Margarine Thermometer Greed. Jfc conservatives are so fucking stupid and disingenuous. Repeated school shootings aren’t a major issue, but as soon as the bullets start landing on them, the pearls get clutched. It’s so transparent and pathetic.

    Anyone saying they agree with the idea shouldn’t be. It won’t turn out how you imagine if it actually comes to pass under this admin.

    Government is not answer, God is.

    Turn your full faith and trust to our Almighty God and our Savior Jesus.

    Tighten your circle around your family and protect them at all times.

    They really just can’t comprehend that they’re violent far right religious extremists…

    Can they?

    Like, if you translated what Christian Republicans and the Taliban wanted into a neutral 3rd language, I really don’t think people would be able to tell which is which.

    These dumbfucks don’t even realize “God” and “Allah” are literally the same fucking dirty and they agree on 99.9999%.

    It’s like when one far right extremists shoots another far right extremist in the neck because there’s 2-3 details they disagree on.

    If anyone isn’t exactly the same, they’re “them” and an enemy.

    If we did actually split the country, their side would just keep picking new groups to run out of their territory until there’s no one left on their side.

      It’s also interesting how her statements mirror leftist thinking on this:

      Government won’t save you. Trust your neighbors and build mutual support networks.

        A lot of these fucks come from backgrounds where such thinking is either the norm or was built up historically but largely forgotten in modernity. If you stripped them of the propaganda they would greatly resemble the union men and women of old.

    I see this on signs outside sometimes. I always wonder where the fuck they think the line will be though… The people who believe this shit generally live in the middle of nowhere and all the cities are deep blue so there isn’t a red state/blue state divide, it’s basically the network city state thing the yarvinists want but even that makes no sense because there aren’t really any red cities to form around

    I kind of agree honestly. We dont have the kind of leadership that brings people together. We could have, but we dont. Until we have more Bernie Sanders types (aka, responsible adults who consider everyone a stakeholder) there is no hope for unity.

      No way the red state faction stays peaceful, as soon as they fuck something up they’ll deflect blame on to the blue state faction and start doing airstrikes on us to distract

      e; Also, this red state faction could never ever ever be allowed to have a nuclear arsenal or we would all be very fucked, so that’s another big hurdle to any kind of breakup plan

          Exactly. The biggest reason the United States is a wealthy place with the ability to pay for a good social safety net* isn’t because we have the best system of government or regulations or people or any of that nonsense politicians and pundits will say, it’s because we never had WWI and II play out across our territory and we haven’t had to waste a bunch of money protecting ourselves from Canada or Mexico.

          Fuck a lot of what my country has done throughout history, but it’s got a great foundation for building something that doesn’t suck.

          *Of course it’s definitely not doing this currently, but there’s potential here

        They wouldn’t be able to uphold the industrial capacity without blue states. At least Russia has oil and Siberian resources. The fuck would they have? Texas is barely holding together and oil extraction may not be maintained on a large enough scale and Alaska is weird and would probably join the blue states.

          The fuck would they have?

          Lots of guns and zero humility or acceptance of their own mistakes. Also, Florida sinking into the ocean probably isn’t going to make anyone in that territory more well behaved.

          Also also - it wouldn’t be fair to the rest of the world to let this red state country come into existence, because when they aren’t attacking us they’d probably be flinging shit at places like Mexico and Cuba. Also, you know their environmental policies would be a fucking disaster that the global climate really can’t afford.

            Worst case scenario you chuck a couple sabateurs over the boarder and have them blow up the water infrastructure. Try being uppity without water.

    Oh, suddenly it’s not safe for everyone when one of their own gets killed…

    It’s not safe partly because this treasonous little troll hasn’t kept her mouth shut for the past dacade.
