18. I don't want to live in the same country as the republican base

honestly.

we do not share the same values. we do not hold the most basic agreements about what this country is about or what is best for it. I wish we could agree to separate - let them have the nasty nation they want and let those of us who want to solve problems have the country that we want.

I don't think they have anything good to offer to this nation. Nothing.

We don't want to live in the same nation - they don't want it either. So why do we continue to pretend we share anything other than imaginary boundaries called states or a nation? We don't.

Let them be slaves for their corporate masters and let the rest of us live without their neofeudalism.

No doubt this would mean migration and dislocation - but, to me, the outcome would be better than what we have now.
