A National Divorce

Sorry... TL/WW

It goes into depth how the economics would work.

I'll take your word for it. Is there a Cliff Notes version?

It's Time for a National Divorce | Mark Metz

Both spouses have become abusive, verbally and physically. Exchanging blows left and right, both literally and metaphorically speaking. There’s no common ground to be found, and even if there were, at this point neither side is interested in entertaining it.

If this Nation ever again enters a shooting civil war, it will be 5th generation warfare. This is a scenario that is more terrifying than all but the most jaded can conceive.

Think roving gangs associated with power broker war lords, offering protection, and punishment. As services begin to breakdown the urban and near suburban areas will quickly become a living h*** with the already experienced predators moving outside the city to look for new prey and resources. Think Somalia or Rhodesia.

Knocks on the door in the middle of the night. The screams of those being dragged away to something worse than death, and the two shots to the back of the head for those who resist your side.

I would MUCH PREFER the first three boxes work as intended.

The above doesn't even address the economic destruction, famine, water scarcity, lack of medical care, lack of energy, and resultant disease. Few citizens will be able to manage these conditions, or survive them. It also doesn't address the very real risk of invasion for such a dysfunctional society.

Be careful what you wish for, and be as prepared as you can. Few can be prepared enough.

I will continue to press my elected servants to honor their oath, and respect the 10th amendment. While I also recognize that the situation could rapidly deteriorate.

"Special economic zones."

Basically you provide those regions autonomy and cooperation with outside governments, but keep them on a short leash as to not let them influence politics outside of their bubble.

So the CCP / Hong Kong model?

Balkanization is an extremely broad term. Are you sure it's never worked out well? Heck, when we broke away from Britain, wasn't that technically Balkanization?

Balkanization is the division of a larger country into smaller states along political or ethnic lines and these states are often hostile to each other due to the forces that caused the breakup in the first place

This is why property owning registered America voters should only be allowed to vote as it was originally designed.

What’s worse saying things that turn heads …. Or going with the flow like the McConnells and such?? Seems “compromise” hasn’t been much compromising more like our side caving to radical left demands.

Both are equally worthless. It's like asking what's worse, vomit or diarrhea? They are both nasty bodily excretions.

It's a stupid idea that has no basis in reality, it's clickbait. But since it's clickbait you agree with...it's GOLD!!!!

I disagree I think questioning the same old same old is better than idly standing by and / or condoning the further demise of our constitution morals and reality.

Not really that broad when the term uses the very example they are referencing...the Balkans.

No one said any of these people are smart. I mean there are some that think Guam will tip over, others that think signs will stop criminals, don’t forget the big one men giving birth.

Questioning is great. But "divorcing" red/blue is a laughably juvenile notion with 0 chance of ever becoming reality. But hey, it sounds great in tweets.

All equally worth ignoring.

I think entering bills that don’t have a chance is a new tactic or atleast new to me. And it is used by both sides as a way to campaign and bring attention to issues. Forcing people to discuss the issues. They only bring the bills that put republicans in a bad light to the main stream media. There are PLENTY of off the wall ridiculous democrat bills all the time.

These are elected officials saying these things….. I don’t think they should be ignored. They should be plastered all over for everyone to see.

And a lot of it is designed to do nothing more than attempt to cover up their dereliction of duty to their elected office and their constituents.
