It just keeps escalating and getting worse and worse. Each side getting more extremist, more unwilling to compromise.

I sometimes feel like we should just become two countries, liberal and conservative.

I do believe that balkanization of the US is inevitable, but that sort of transition tends to be disastrous for the common man.

You say this like each state is composed entirely of liberals or conservatives, not both.

Yes, let's punish all conservatives and liberals by creating a dozen commonwealths. Nothing could go wrong from that.

TC, "each side" is not getting "more extremist". You're talking about select individuals - not all. This is the same kind of sensationalized bullshit that goes with liberals saying all cops hate black people or all conservatives are welfare-sucking ticks.

I've long said that it would be a fascinating - if completely impractical - experiment if the US split into two countries, one governed entirely by Republicans and one governed entirely by Democrats and each election cycle each state voted on which country they would be a part of for the next four years.

Hell I'm game. I love experiments!
Honestly though, what would probably happen is that Democrats would migrate to Democratic states and Republicans etc and no state would ever swap and then there'd just be two countries with different ideologies near each other. I think.

Good idea. Let's uproot people from their homes, jobs, schools, friends, families, etc and dump them into states that are only filled with people with the same political affiliation.

Should we do the same for the Libertarians, the Constitutionists, and the Greens?

By the way, in case you didn't notice, that was sarcasm.

well, talk about polarized, many people out there will completely hide their stances on issues even when they are told how pressing it is.

How would the democrats survive? They'd have no military or police.

How would the republicans survive? They'd have no fat girls with blue hair and thick rimmed glasses?
