What would it look like if America split?

[IsailedawayfromFR]

The overwhelming evidence present in the public domain today strongly suggests that the United States of America will separate into two countries in less than fifty years.

Here is the scenario concept.  The conservative and progressive sides of America today see each other as a lifeguard and drowning victim.  Neither side will keep the other from drowning when push comes to shove.  The only option is for the lifeguard to let go of the drowning victim.  This event is the physical separation.  The conceptual separation has been playing out for about three decades.

The topics of abortion, gun rights, balanced budgets, central bank digital currencies, immigration, and free speech, either alone or together, can all be set aside with assurance they are not the reasons for the pending dissolution of the country.  The single reason for the U.S. going into parts is free choice.

The U.S. will not change to a bordered country such as the Soviet Union, since geography has 50% of its border bound by water and the other 50% absent of both a northern and southern border.  Ask Canada and Mexico how immigration control is going for them lately.  It is unlikely there will be mass deporting of citizens due to the risk of those deported coming back with a vengeance, helped by whatever country accepts them.  Ask Germany and Russia how that worked out for them during World War II.

A recent venture capitalist article indicates how geography, demographics, and capitalism intersect to likely help form the two new countries.

Take everything from the Hudson's Bay to the Bay of Campeche, from the western Continental Divide to the eastern one, call it America, and let the rest find a new name.

I am guessing it will be split in 3 for logistical reasons along idelological lines.  A socialist NE U.S./Upper Rust (ME, NH, VT, MA, RI, CT, NY, PA, VA, MD, NJ, DE, WV, MI, MN, WI, IL) , a socialist W/NW U.S (WA, OR, CA, NV, AZ, CO, NM, HI) and a Middle America that will trend Central/Right politically.

Let the relocations begin.

Resources....MN, despite the Leftists, who would be outnumbered, for the Iron Range  and great lakes ports. CO, NM, NV, AZ for oil, gold, and other mining. TX, OK, KS, WY, NE, IA, ND, SD, MT, ID, UT, Eastern WA, and OR, and that includes all 405 land based ICBMs, and the top 5 oil producing States.

The problem the woke leftists have is if the USA dissolves, so will state boundaries.

So their little nation will be nothing but urban enclaves entirely dependent on everyone outside their little fiefdoms.

Why split?  Consolidate Conquer and Kill.

Let them become Venezuela, and self implode.  Our conservative leaning middle America will control the borders just fine, and with force if necessary.

As an Arizonan I object.
