(11,550 posts)It appears we were overdue.
A huge flaw with the "logic" of your secession example:
Conservatives have liberal children, and vice versa. Barring some open ended mutual emigration policy between the two "countries," it would only be a matter of a generation or two before there are countless people living in a "country" where they are in a minority based on their political beliefs.
Which is exactly what we have in all fifty states now. So in the end, what good would secession do for anyone?
All of our states are purple. There are no "blue" states and no "red" states, and the more we perpetuate that myth the more we segregate ourselves from one another.
Instead of blasting those of us that choose to live in the South and blaming us for our government, why don't you help us to effect change and make things better? Having more Democrats in office improves things for ALL of us.
But no, that's too hard and takes actual work. I suppose its easier to sit behind a keyboard and stand in judgment of others and dictate what decisions they should make for their lives.
What a fucking stupid OP.
