I disagree that we as a country need a divorce, aka split in half.

27. The GOP is dying. Its supporting demographic is dwindling.

America is becoming more racially diverse, with whites set to no longer be the majority by the middle of the century. The GOP is LOSING GROUND with all non-white voter groups. The GOP lost terribly in 2010 with the non-white vote. This is a fact of statistics, not race-baiting.

The GOP will never regain good standing with non-white voters. Ever. It is set to lose chunks of its white voter base as well. This will take about 30-40 years before it reduces the GOP to the status of a joke party. But long before that they'll show big losses, such as already blue states turning perma-blue, and purple states turning blue.

We'll get to 2/3 majorities. The only credible point of contention among those who know the demographic trajectory of the GOP is when it will happen in the next 40 years.

If your argument is that we will not get there, then the second scenario of my OP is certain: the GOP will hang on to just enough power to ruin America. How do you see that NOT happening?
