MTG is NOT the front runner for anything but her own district.

I do not believe Trump will win the primary.  He will not best DeSantis.

MTG calls for 'national divorce' between red and blue states'

It's Presidents Day, and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's (R-GA) got a plan.

Instead of celebrating the birthdays of America's Founding Fathers, George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, the Georgia GOP firebrand is calling for a "national divorce," tweeting that red and blue states need to separate and go their own ways. She is also advocating shrinking the federal government.

"We need a national divorce," Greene tweeted. "From the sick and disgusting woke culture issues shoved down our throats to the Democrats' traitorous America Last politics, we are done."

Not even close to being plausible.   The correct answer is a lot more federalism.

A national divorce would not be a plausible remedy for the simple fact that each state has the same divisions within it - mostly its an urban versus non-urban issue in most states - so a divorce along state lines wouldn't assuage the pain of the group that ended up being in the minority in each state unless there was a mass migration of affected individuals from one side of the divorce line to the other.  Such dislocation would be disastrous.

Want a shock?  Here are some recent poll results from Rasmussen on this matter....

47%-42% of those in GOP support this, 34% of all respondants.

And only 26% of dims...  Why would the slugs want to lose their source of entitlements? 

This is not "out there", and will not the last time this will be debated.

Since we are "sharing" a country with demons who wish our demise, what exactly would be the alternative to a national divorce?

Not along state lines... along regions would be the more workable solution.

Exactly. If the FedGov runs the nation into the ground and becomes financially impotent, the power vacuum will automatically devolve into the defacto redrawing of lines whether DC likes it or not, because it won't be able to do anything about it.
The Republic is lost.

There no longer remains a republic.  We as a society are too obtuse to realize it is gone.  What remains is something equivalent to Jeff Goldblum after he went through the transport machine one time too many in The Fly.  Is it the character Jeff is playing?  Sure.  But it is also something more, and something not normal by any means.  Biden is doing the same to this nation as Jeff did to himself, morph this nation into something unrecognizable to anyone.

And the answer sure as hell is NOT Trump.  He had his 30 seconds of fame with promises NOT kept.  Yeah, NOT kept!  Two most important promises were build the wall and end H1-b Visas.  He did NOT keep either promise.  He actually increased the H1-b Visa numbers at the request of the tech billionaire oligarchs, the same f*****s that stabbed him in the back repeatedly with the 2020 election!

Divorce the nation, what a preposterous notion.  How would one divide the country?  Pure idiocy!

I had so much hope for her. But she was just a creation. The district she represents is pretty neat country. Adjacent to my part of Georgia, but she has become a robotic party shill. Such a shame.
