73. A Civil War is the wrong choice.

Mon Jul 3, 2017, 09:06 PM

Jul 2017

I have come to despise some people on the far, far left. If we have a Civil War, we likely will end up all being ruled by Russia or China. Russia got involved in our election because they saw that opportunity.

I much rather split into four countries and let adult people move to their preferred country with moving assistance. One country would be for center-left and left people, at crunch time they vote the same. The other country will be for the far, far left and anyone that agrees with them, including some on the normal left. The other countries would be for the right and I could care less how they divide it up as long as I am rid of them.

The splitting up works best, each country can inact policies that it wants.

There should be a right to immigrate for minor kids that follow their parents, but would chose another country when they become adults.
