It will be true that it will be way more expensive for Red Staters to move to Blue states. Since Red States already have shittier and weaker economies.

Economic devastation is an inevitable result of making policy divorced from objective reality. Let the religious lunatics feel the FO part of FAFO.

Banning religion really isn't a good idea. Look at what happened in the Soviet Union. But banning and rigorously enforcing religious interference in politics is a much more sensible and fair strategy. It's also one that the United States used to have until numerous administrations refused to enforce the ban.

Except this particular idea isn't quite as crazy as her other ideas. It's really gotten to the point that the Red States and the Blue States lack a common purpose or any reason to be united. A gentle split into two countries, one founded on the principles of The Enlightenment and another with the laws and mores of Bronze Age herders- e. g. JesusLand, makes sense to me. As long as the latter doesn't have nuclear weapons.

Well, it's pretty clear that democracy is what we gave up.

California resident here. I would be SO down with that- as long as there's an impenetrable wall to our East.

And this has exactly what to do with what I posted? Except what happened to Lincoln was the same that happened to John Brown except John Brown was lawfully murdered. When Lincoln was alive, it could and did cost white men their lives to be anti racist.

Get your facts right before you start spreading lies. Liberia began being settled by formerly enslaved Americans around 1820. When Abe Lincoln was 11 years old. Abe was also pretty progressive compared to most White Americans in his racist beliefs. By today’s standards, he was racist. But he was for his time about as progressive as was possible for a white man to be in public without being subject to murder by slavers. And guess what, he was murdered by slavers.

I’m having trouble processing the meaning of this insane claim. It does not compute.

Even a blind pig finds an acorn once in a while.

If it works like that, you would be in huge demand by the bomb squad and for demilitarizing weapons.
