Marjorie Taylor Greene asks if U.S. should be divided between GOP and Democrats
www.newsweek.com
The Georgia lawmaker tweeted a poll asking her followers if America should have a "national divorce."

Because the ruling class will still need to distract libs and chuds from material conditions. In fact it will probably be even more important in two unsustainable nations.

    how would the logistics of this even work

    what do they do with swing states

    are there wars over Florida and Ohio every 4 years

      I'm not at all interested in the logistics of it because it would never work. I just wonder what it would be like if we woke up tomorrow and the nation was already split in two and our populations were sorted and redistributed according to political belief. Thus, dems would get all the gun control they want, republicans would have all the abortion restrictions they wished for, and then... what exactly? What policies would be fracture lines in the new nations politics? (Also, where would leftists go since we'd be unwelcome everywhere?)

        i feel like redistributing every American according to political belief would fracture into like millions of different nations because having a coherently structured political ideology is pretty rare

          I'd just say democrats would wake up in blue states and republicans would wake up in red states and be done with it. The point of the thought experiment is to find the fracture points that currently exist within the two parties. What would be the new wedge issues that we could exploit a wedge strategy on?

              Oh these would no doubt be issues both nations would face, but I'm more interested in what social problems would the media exploit to distract us from such real concerns.

                Oh hmm. Maybe the media from either side would start to be like “the other side has concentration camps for us”

                  But the media is already doing this one. Remember Jade Helm 15?

                  I don't care about what unites republicans to each other against democrats. Nor what unites democrats against republicans. I want to know how to break the spine of each team. Because they'll have to reform into separate parties once again in their new "ideal" states.

                    Yeah that’s a tough but cool question. Looking forward to what other people say
