1. That means a large black population under racist white rule

[secondwind]

2. NO. NO. NO.

3. The problem is a rural/urban divide in every state.

Can’t really be solved by splitting the country. There will still be urban progressives in red states and rightwing nutjobs in rural areas of blue states.

4. That would be impossible to do

You've got left wingers and right wingers and middle of the road living side by side throughout America.

[Hekate]

5. Fck that noise

Thank you for your input

[Skittles]

6. America is stronger than Donald Fucking Trump

we have to move forward WITHOUT dividing

[GoneOffShore]

7. No. Just no. Look what happened with partition in India for a salutary lesson on this.

[denbot]

8. Fuck no.

To many have sacrificed to maintain this Union. Fuck anyone trying to destroy it.

9. I guess you're new

Do you think about how that would affect people? Like me? I was born here in a red place, and I am trying to make things better here.

10. Looney Tunes!

[Shanti Shanti Shanti]

11. Sure, and the farmbelt red states shut off food delivery to the blue state cities, brilliant

12. You haven't been here a week. Slow down, see how things here are done,

and enjoy yourself.

14. Gee no coastal elitism there... n/t

[Scrivener7]

16. Oh, that's helpful.

[Captain Stern]

15. No, we don't.

For the reasons pointed out, and many more. It's neither feasible or desirable.

Complex problems rarely have simple solutions.

17. I think whether the court is expanded or not...

…this country will split up into sort of rural Republican zones following law as they see it: people get the same guns as the cops, no abortion, weed remains illegal, teaching black history is stopped, no LGBTQ rights.

Then the blue city, Democratic zones, will be prochoice, friendly to minorities and LGBTQ, while citizens will be reduced to 1 shot guns while the cops will remain armed with modern technology to make sure people know where they stand.

The reason I think this, is because if the court remains unchanged, we will likely start ignoring their orders as void for seeing their decisions as bs. If we expand the court, then they will ignore our decisions, based on us “cheating to get the results we want”. In other words, I think this country is on borrowed time.

18. Divide and conquer is just what Putin has been shooting for.

Scott Walker said it out loud in 2010 that the Republican party strategy was to divide and conquer, and we know from Kevin McCarthy where these orders may have been coming from.

Wisconsin was the test case, and the teaparty tore us apart, going after the teachers and state workers, and for a while , our firefighters.

Never again.

19. Another day, another secession OP on DU

What do you think should happen to the many, many Democrats in these states - just heck with us? As previously noted, what about the Black and POC populations in these states - screw 'em?
