Old Russian propaganda. This was promoted over a decade ago under the guise of social science from Russia.

Don’t fall for it. Besides it gives Trump the authority to keep the union together by any means necessary.

Regardless of who promoted the idea originally, breaking up the US or at least providing regional autonomy makes a lot of sense. There’s also precedence, for example Quebec/Canada, Catalonia/Spain, Scotland/UK. Also the voluntary dissolution of Czechoslovakia in the 1990’s. Honestly it’s the only realistic alternative we have given how hopelessly divided we are along tribal and cultural fault lines.

Some of the states in their current union Have decided to put the cruise control on crazy, and how can we co-exist with them? Florida is giving up on immunization for gods sake.

So, we can either continue down this path or, we can figure out how to come together. However, coming together has to be paired with accepting that humans have different color hair, eyes and skin tones that make almost zero difference in ability or personality or any other attribute. Coming together also means accepting people for who they are including sexual orientation. Remember live at let live? Live free or die? Don't tread on me?

It’s not red vs blue states, it’s cities vs rural areas. How would you divide it up?

That’s a problem. Look at Texas and Missouri. Four blue cities in Texas is the economic engine for the state, but the state is politically controlled by the rural red areas surrounding them. St. Louis and Kansas City is blue or light blue in Missouri, and those cities are the crown jewels for the state’s economics. However, the rural red areas are set to gerrymander the hel-ll out of those two cities, divide them into pieces and create red republican voting districts that extent up to 100 miles outside the respective city limits.

Unpopular opinion, but if you are blue in a red state, move. Let's the red states drown themselves.

Interesting this is on the West Coast because they’d already announced doing it in the Northeast. I hope DC gets aligned with the Northeast. Our mayoral race next year should address this.

But it doesn’t make sense bc it’s not about blue vs red state. It’s cities vs rural areas. How would you divide it up?
