There has been a fair amount of talk lately, a resurgence actually, regarding a “national divorce”. Meaning, we would separate the country into two separate nations according to political beliefs; namely Democrat and Republican…or liberal and conservative. Believing that way we could live among our own kind and be happier, healthier, more content, and safer from dreaded hate speech and hurtful words of others.

Think about that for a minute…it sounds appealing. Give the Democrats/Liberals all of California, western Oregon and Washington, and most of the northeast. I am not sure about Illinois…it’s mostly Chicago that is a septic tank. We’ll revisit that later, maybe. Republicans/Conservatives would get everything else.

For those of the opposite persuasion stuck in an opposing state special accommodations would be made. Conservatives stuck in Liberal states would be allowed to move cost free into a house vacated by a Liberal moving out of a Conservative state…and vice-versa. Companies would be responsible for their own moves and associated costs. It would take about two years, if pushed hard, to accomplish this. Then you would have the Liberal States of America (LSA) and the Conservative States of America (CSA).

I figure in about 5 years (at most) the LSA would collapse. The taxes they would enact would crush their economy. Their valuable natural resources would be useless since their laws would prevent them from being used. And their utility grids would be all but unavailable due to little or nothing to power them during the night and on non-windy days. And they would be overrun by immigrants coming in from around the world and eating up their national budget with free everything. Crime would be out of control because their prisons would have been emptied and renovated to make free luxury accommodations available for the incoming immigrants. And let’s not forget their dedication to gun control…not a citizen or cop in sight with a gun…just the criminals. But President Newsom would still have great hair.

However, it is really the CSA that I would be worried about the most. Why? Uh oh…some folks are not going to like this. This is all based on what is happening now and what has happened under Republican presidents and Congresses over the last 75 years. First off…no personal privacy. The NSA would monitor all forms of any communications looking for any criminal activity…or any activity deemed “terrorist” related. Oh wait, the NSA, DHS, and FBI already do that. And the DHS and FBI would label large swaths of its citizens as potential violent domestic terrorists. Oh wait, the FBI & DHS already apply that label to most true Christians and most Conservatives/Preppers/Veterans. There would be a revitalization and expansion of law enforcement with the power to stop-and-frisk, ask for identity papers, and of course we would probably see law enforcement in their revised uniforms…

Oh wait…that picture is from 2025. At least they don’t look like ISIS Islamic religious police…

Once the LSA collapsed where would they turn to for help? Yup, the good ‘ole CSA. And then we would be right back to where we are now.

Let’s review, the last last time the USA tried a national divorce we killed nearly a million of each other. Yeah, about 3% of the total US population were killed by fellow Americans to prove just how unrealistic a national divorce is. The only real beneficiaries of the Civil War, besides freeing slaves, was the new military-industrial complex…they became incredibly wealthy.

No, sorry…a national divorce is not possible (hopefully)…it would be an utter, total, and complete disaster/failure…even without a shooting civil war. For me personally, there is no way I would want to live in the LSA…a Communist, Socialist, Marxist authoritarian/totalitarian nanny state. Then I look at what a CSA would look like. To get a realistic picture I review the Republican presidents (and Congresses) over the last 75 years…there is one president that would be considered reasonably acceptable as a Constitutionalist. But even he was fiscally irresponsible. None of the others did the country much good from the perspective of the Constitution and fiscal responsibility. A couple were downright enemies of the Constitution. One was a CIA agent, another was his son. So no, I would not want to live in the CSA either…at all…if the past was the standard of leadership and governance.

So maybe…just maybe…that’s why our Founding Fathers, especially George Washington, abhorred the idea, the very concept, of political parties. Why? Because political parties place their party’s power over the best interests of the country. And their leadership place their top priority on their own lust for money over the fiscal responsibility of the country. Founding Fathers kinda foresaw what would happen, eh?

You know, maybe we should revisit the principles of our Founding Fathers to see if that would be the best answer…and maybe a description/concept of the best place for us to live. And what exactly were their principles? You might be surprised to learn they were collectively, for the most part, known as “classical liberalism”. And what exactly is classical liberalism?

Trying any form of “liberalism” today would be a non-starting due to mental midgets not having a clue about what freedom, liberty, and rights are really all about; all they would care about it the label. So we might have to call it something along the lines of “civil society libertarianism”. But then again the mentally challenged, or the brainwashed, might lump true libertarianism in with the libertarianism as it is been corrupted today. So we might be forced to come up with a new term altogether to reinstate the principles of our Founding Fathers…let’s say “Commonsensism”. But that won’t work either if you think about it. Yeah, for hundreds of years famous thinkers kinda covered that one…

Bottom line…any kind of a peaceful “national divorce” is just not possible…at all; nor should it even be sought after, it would be a disaster in every aspect. A violent “national divorce” would be even worse. It would generate at least 10,000,000 deaths of our own citizens. It would devastate families, economies, and generate a hatred that could end up in a nuclear strike. Think about a civil war now with modern weapons of the US military. And, it would open up the entire US to a foreign entity that could/would take advantage of the situation.

No, we are not going to see a national divorce. Should it be attempted it would be a national disaster of unrecoverable proportions.

So what is the only real answer to find peace in the US? Well, in my opinion, there are two answers that almost assuredly would work…one leads to the other.

1. Return to the concepts and principles outlined in the Judaeo-Christian religions same as our Founders did; and that includes returning to God.
2. Throw off the Republican and Democrat parties, reject their leaders, and their quest (or anyone’s quest) for an authoritarian state, and return the USA to the principles of our Founding Fathers.

Don’t waste your time, ignore those who propose and advocate for a national divorce…they are trying to distract and destroy. Research and embrace the principles that made this country possible. And then pray…pray a whole lot. And if you have any spare time…take action that might help bring about a peaceful solution to our country’s problems. Our problems are not insurmountable if we, as everyday citizens, work together.

And just for the heck of it, think about this…
