MTG HAS BALLS

This will sound callous, but if immigrants are willing to risk their lives in search of a better life to come here, the choice an American would have to relocate is a FAR lesser ask.

Inconvenient... Yes.

Impossible... No.

Hell, we could set up a red / blue house exchange with those folks trapped in the red states equally passionate about finding Nirvana here in CA.

I guess it all comes down to whether we think this wokeism is a phase or an illness that we will eventually recover from, or whether it's a permanent division of how we all view everything in life. I've posted before that I no longer have any interest or desire in reuniting with the woke left. I find almost everything they believe to be so bizarre and so offensive that I can't see any common ground for unity. I also realize that a split would cede world hegemony to China, but the way things are going that may be inevitable anyway. Perhaps it's only a matter of how long it will take.

Many other countries throughout history have split and survived. I just don't believe dividing along red state-blue state lines and forcing 150 million people to move is rational or feasible. This is where the discussion always breaks down. I think there's enough intelligence on this forum to imagine other ways to divide (if necessary), but so far we haven't put forth the effort to imagine or discuss them.

That's exactly my point.  If our differences are political, social or cultural, how does it make sense to instead divide the country geographically?

I really don’t think it’s simple at all. Political opinions are so fluid, hell, even my views change through the years…

I can start with three deal-breakers for me:

(1) The notion that a man who identifies as a woman is really a woman, and the entire population of the country is obligated to indulge his delusion and make him feel like he's right, including allowing him to compete against women in athletic events and wiggling his wang in front of young girls in their locker rooms.

(2) The notion that teachers and school administrators should guide sexually confused children into hormone therapy and eventually cutting off their breasts or their penises while keeping parents in the dark.

(3) The notion that people who never owned slaves, or whose ancestors came to this country decades after all slaves were freed, should be required to pay monetary reparations to people who were never slaves and whose ancestors may have arrived in this country after slavery was abolished.

I can't think of three more heinous examples of social ideals whose proponents I can never accept or welcome as fellow countrymen. 

Here is one more....
