Ah well if your argument is that you might be genocided in one country, you should accept that you will be safe in the other. There are 122m refugees globally- BEFORE the entitled USians.

A 2nd American civil war would resemble the Yugoslav wars far more than the first ACW.

By the way, this is something to consider if the US does go splitsville, this is ridiculous and absurd but from a economic standpoint, you'd be fools not to at least consider if they asked annexing California, Washington, and Oregon, for one simple reasom.. A land bridge to Mexico

Yes. There are a lot of prairie dogs in the red area. Trump has never won the majority of the vote. Ever. Thank you for your attention to this matter. #Epstien #J6

There are geographical distances, sure. But that makes it easier for red state people- you’ll go to whichever is closest & better. And despite the distance - blue states can form a united front on policy

It might not. And frankly that’s probably not a bad thing. The big problem they share is that D & R are equally addicted to being the #1 economy, military, etc. It’s kept them together ( and now unites them in desire to *absorb Canada and Greenland, maybe Mexico) to assure their dominance in a /1

World that’s increasingly multi-polar and US doesn’t have many evident moves except for expansionism. It’s led them to accept truly unacceptable things. But these are people who are unfit to live together. They never have and never will resolve their 1st civil war/2

But my prediction is a Cold War standoff between blue states defying Washington, withholding $ etc and then probably the fascists withholding $ to blue states. I don’t rule out hot civil war but I think my scenario is more likely. But they’d all benefit from facing the myth of exceptionalism.

There is no "R*." It's extinct and has been supplanted by Maga. D and R being the same is a false equivalency.

Not trusting voters doesn’t qualify you as a refugee- though you might investigate qualifications on merit in different countries

Fair. My point was learning job skills so I could immigrate on my own merits so I could get out. And why it was Canada was actually because I LIKE Canadian values. Diversity being viewed as a strength, helping a neighbor. Stuff I thought the US actually stood for until this election..

Look cost of living was a real problem, yet swing voters here (thanks electoral college), were so mad at Biden, they voted for change when Trump wasn't even selling them anything, his cost of living plan was to blame Biden and ramble on about groceries being a beautiful word.

The Democratic Party is perceived as being misandristic and that's why Orange Caligula gained power again despite not winning the majority of votes for the 3rd straight time.
