17. Trumplandia may launch an attack on the real USA, but that will be

the end of Trumplandia.

Spilt the country down the middle with the dividing line running north to south. Have adults decide which they want to live in, if they want to move, buy up their property and pay for their move to the "other" country. So in the end, only progressives that want to live there live in the real USA.

It doesn't matter which side we take, that will be by far the best side in a decade after the split. If we give up Washington State (actually Seattle region), Oregon (actually Portland region), California, and others, we get many southern states, New York, New Jersey, DC, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina FREE of conservatives, I can live with that.

Soon after the split, I would expect the progressive country to leave the other in the dust, even militarily even as it spends far less on defense. So if Trumplandia attacks, it would get repulsed.
