It’ll never happen. US Military would never willingly split itself apart, let itself get split apart, or let another nation that it’s not allied with have any sort of Army on its equivalent. The 50 states are here to stay.

Never say never. The domestic terrorists/agents of Putin are aching for an actual shooting civil war.

Even a peaceful division of the US would be something they would seriously benefit from. The US permanently divided against itself, each side easy to manipulate into a military conflict against the other. We would have nukes pointed at each other within a decade. It would be like the splitting of India and Pakistan, along with all the accompanying human rights atrocities.

The US military is going to be replaced by Trump loyalists. Whatever he wants to happen is what’s gonna happen.

I doubt it. He can barely run his shit past the civilian government. I’d be surprised if he knows that the UCMJ exists. The brass aren’t going to just fall in line, they know what an illegal order is, and what to do when they are given one.

He may manage to be the first POTUS that is ever told by the military that they have no confidence in him, and will refuse to take orders from him.

It’s expansive here in the places you may want to live, but seriously… It’s worth it. There’s also a lot of cheap places that aren’t as ideal.

Predictable. The donvict-humpers supposedly “win”, and then get even MORE angry. Why so angry?

I suspect it’s because for this brief period of time, anyway, it’s hard for them to avoid just how HATED they and their precious golden donvict truly are. They thought they’d “win” and all the normal Americans around them would just disappear. And yet, Karens like Green continue to get confronted by normal people.

Because we’ve stolen their martyrdom from them by losing.

This is outrageously anecdotal but the trumpers I know were all grins on the day after until they realized we weren’t gonna just get over this and they just labeled themselves. They seem pissy now, and one in my office in particular that used to chat with me about sports is really broken up I don’t want to anymore

Yeah, the Professional Left did an entire section about this and they mentioned the case where some husband is completely gobsmacked that his wife filed for divorce.

But yeah, I’ve seen the same thing and heard about it from others. Lots of quiet interactions about how so and so is a big proponent of donvict; don’t invite him/her to {whatever social function}.

The refrain of “yeah, but let’s just agree to disagree” - I can see why many people, especially those most at risk thanks to what they wan, are thinking: “YEAH, FUCK THAT. You just voted to harm me, and you want to act like it’s just a disagreement?”

Right? The country is split basically 50. This seems like the obvious thing to do.

I wouldnt say that. Left and right leaning people are mixed all over the country. It’s not like the civil war when people were geographically located where the states wanted to cecede.

Point is, my comment was a joke. If the U.S. fractures into a bunch of smaller countries, its not going to be a good time for anybody.

The right in a deep blue state tend to have more in common with the Democrats then they do with Conservatives in a deep red state.

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
