The Democrats and Republicans decide to just have nothing more to do with each other and decide to split up the US into the Republican States of America and the Democratic States of America

Or RSA and DSA

Each has their own president and laws and borders and citizenship. Everyone in the former USA has 1 year to pick a side and move to it

Do you live in the US? Rural areas are overwhelmingly red, while major metropolitan areas are blue.

I do. And those rural and metropolitan areas don't correspond to state lines. What do you do with Atlanta, or Austin, or Upstate NY?

Hilary won 57 of 3,141 counties in the country. California has 58 counties. Our government has enough money to pay for relocation. So we pull conservatives out of Cali, put in liberals, make them their own country, and bring in Greenland as new 50th state. Boom, world peace.

Except California grows pretty much all of our fruits and vegetables. So relinquishing them would be one of the most idiotic things anyone can do.

Not fully informed about California, but I believe quite a few of the farms are in the northern part(where they wanted to secede from Cali and form the state of Jefferson), which predominately votes (R). Just give them new farmland in another state and enough time to cultivate the land and start producing.

by all means, inform me of where all these farms are. I am correct about northern Cali being conservatives; so it's more 1 for 2.

Republicans took advantage of the last guy willing to compromise and did everything to create obstacles.

some people are spiteful and petty like that. sometimes these types flock together and create policy...

should probably also be noted that northern California has the least valuable agriculture industry in the state, so you literally couldn't be more wrong

might want to google "California Jefferson state"; secession movements pop up every decade or so. Still doesn't change fact most of north Cali vote conservative. 1/2

I have a strong feeling most farms pop up in the orange colored counties that Trump won. I'm sure if in this hypothetical breaking up the country, they'd hop at the chance to get equal to or more farmland to ply their trade in another state.

at least I ask to be informed. Unfortunately, all your kin can provide is "nuh-uhs" as retorts, which, is not an argument.

This is how it works.

Rural areas are known for supremacy.

Metropolitan areas are war zones.

How does one win?

might want to look up public support for said secession movements before trying to explain them to people who know more than you.

Northern California votes overwhelmingly Democrat just like the southern part.

Yes every farmer would jump at the chance to trade good farmland for low quality farmland.

0/5.

That's too optimistic.

A civil war in America would quickly evolve into a global war.

The Chinese would mobilize and conquer half the world when America is at its most vulnerable.

-California would be invaded (or befriended) by the Chinese because California is an important strategic location for economics and military. They would be stupid to let California sit idle.

-Fascism would rise in Europe and cause another major war in Europe because nationalists never get along with other nationalists.

-The middle east would unite after Muslims wipe out the other half of Muslims who are barely different.

-South America and Africa are up for grabs by fascists, dictators, and the Chinese.

A civil war in America marks the end in Liberal Democracy

Not really. The Commonwealth may rise again, who knows. Or the European Union mans the fuck up. Either/or.
