"Nobody Really Cares": The Rural Voter Problem

[Blue_true]

21. I have come to feel that we need to split into two countries.

A western country and an eastern country, one liberal and the other, other (whatever that is). The country is very divided and the conservative part has shown resiliency in infesting a good portion of their children and grandchildren. The West Coast and near West, except for Utah are becoming more liberal (even if still red), the country should split top to bottom somewhere west of the Mississippi, with the western 25 states becoming the liberal country - people would have five years to move to their country of choice, with financial help for those that need it. Once divided, the two countries can set up their own cultures, with limited engagement with eachother. People that choose to stay in a country do so with the realization that it's politics may not be to their liking. To keep a country politically pure, parties that violate the national charter (i.e., no conservative parties in the liberal country and vise versa for the conservative country).
