      Nah, that wouldn’t work well at all. The divide mostly is by population density, not between the states themselves. You’ll often find that the mayor of the largest city in a state is a Democrat, even in the reddest of red states. That makes any sort of split nearly impossible.

      Ultimately, free movement of goods and residents between the states is extremely valuable on multiple levels. Europe recognized this when the EU created the single market and internal freedom of movement.

          Wishing for the country to burn is wishing for the suffering of hundreds of millions of people. Most people in the US are in favor of significant reforms, Much of the struggle we are witnessing is the disagreement about which changes should be made, and obstructionism to prevent reforms from being enacted.

          You’ll be more helpful through compassion and solidarity with those Americans who are working to change things for the better.

            Think for a moment about the hundreds of millions of people who were murdered, tortured and starved by the United States throughout its history. No amount of reform is going to stop these crimes. The only way it will end is when the country finally collapses. Luckily that is already happening at an incredible pace.
