Democrats now want US split into ‘blue’ states and ‘red’ states

Liberals laughed when conservatives including Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) called for dividing the United States into red and blue states because of national disunity and partisanship.

But they’re not laughing now. In fact, about a third of Democrats believe a political break from conservative leaning states is needed.
 

In a notable survey of 2,008 voters conducted by the Center for Politics at the University of Virginia, 31% of “Biden supporters” want Democratic-controlled states to secede from the United States to form their own country.

Among voters who back former President Donald Trump, 41% support secession.

What’s more, large groups of both think it's time to end democracy.

How about we go back to adhering to the Constitution, period???   What a concept.  *****rollingeyes*****

I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.

More federalism is the only possible answer to saving the union.  Give states more autonomy to set their own policies.

I say, take 'em up on the offer.

But if the red states are serious, watch the blue states withdraw the offer right away.
They know where the food and resources come from.

Aside:
What if King George had told the Colonists, "go your own way"...?

There are no blue states, only blue cities.

True. But those cities control the state's political makeup

Minnesota is mostly red. But the Twin cities and Duluth are solid blue
