Is America Doomed to Split Apart?
2020-11-24
It's Kurt.
[Townhall] Is anyone else too old to start living on his knees? See, submission is not in the cards. The question is whether preserving our freedom means dissolving the Union. And though our alleged betters tell us we are not allowed to think about that horrible prospect, it’s the ruling caste itself that raised the question.

When you get a vile clown like Chuck Schumer promising to "change America" if he steals another Georgia election in the coming run-off, it only reaffirms that we don’t want to "change America" — at least not into the Venezuela-lite he and his coterie of neo-Marxist bother-wedders, fake Indians, and buck-tooth morons want. We’re not living in a dictatorship of the mediocre-tariat, or of anyone else, period. That’s non-negotiable. Nor does any alleged conservative principle of the kind pushed by supine gimps of the Mitt n’ French variety bind us to do so.

And yet there’s a huge chunk of America seemingly determined to suppress, disenfranchise, and even harm us. Save your gaslighting, hacks, I’m on Twitter, and every day I see people threatening us with, on the mild end, "reeducation" to "truth and reconciliation commissions" to outright murder.

I will not be reeducated or reconciled, and if you propose to murder me, I suggest you get your affairs in order.

In a situation like we are in today, with America polarized and the Establishment and its serfs dedicated to an agenda of oppression aimed directly at the patriot faction — oddly, the people who are so eager to rule this country also tend to hate this country — can we even survive as a nation? Should we?

I'm not the only one who has wondered if America might break apart because of leftist idiocy, and some people, in their despair at the venality and stupidity of far too many of our countryman, think it is the only way to resolve our crisis. This is profoundly misguided. Yes, it is daunting. We have a whole younger generation raised on SJW nonsense, but the fact is that it is nonsense. That's a huge advantage – what we believe in, like individual rights, freedom of speech, and economic liberty, are things history teaches people hold so dearly they will fight and die for them. Who is the millennial who will die for the "right" to have his student loan paid off or to be addressed as "xir"? The left's alleged values are ridiculous – they are not even values at all, but rather tools they use to leverage power over polite people ("Sure Jimmy, you're a girl now. Fine. Whatever.") and a means for losers to find camaraderie. Their whole garbage ideology is built on sand. And we're going to just hand a big chunk of our country over to these ridiculous people?

Not on your life.

We're not going anywhere. We're not retreating. We're not hiding. We're not pulling into our conservative shell like some right-wing tortoise. This is our country.

We built it. We feed it. We fuel it. We defend it. And we're not giving away any of it or ceding a single inch to a bunch of corrupt incompetents with delusions of dictatorship.

This is where we make a stand, for the Constitution and for our country.

Hey leftists, listen up. Shut up for a second and listen good. America is not doomed. We aren't going to become serfs, and we aren't going anywhere.

#9  Whoops! Premature posting! To continue:

We see exactly this process in Turkey, though their conservatives are vile instead of wonderful.

#8  On my opinion, the country won’t split. More people will continue moving from Blue states and cities to Red, and there discover that the Deplorables aren’t actually as horrible as they were told. In the process they will become more conservative in outlook, no matter how they label themselves, and enjoy rearing their children in good school systems. More states as a result will have Red control from top to bottom, which will be reflected in clean elections and greater control of both Houses of Congress.

The True Believers will mostly find ways to stay behind in their ever-shrinking Blue territories, rejoicing in the reduced crowding in their favourite locations and doing their best to avoid the new taxes, increased violence. They also won’t have many children.

We see

#7  Schlichter used to come off as an entertainer, another outrageous Coulter type.

But now things have become so insane that he seems almost blandly centrist.

Of course we will split. The only question is how much violence there will be.

#6  Splitting apart would be very complicated. Most of California's land mass is red. All the cities in Texas are blue. It's not North vs South or Coasts vs Flyover. It's mostly urban vs rural.

#4  See...the thing is.. we're not a democracy. We're a Republic. We elect our leaders to speak for us. At least that was the case until a few weeks ago. We elected no one. Our rights were stolen from us by a host of bad actors. You all know their names. Right now, we're bordering on kleptocracy. If this stands, full blown Socialism is right around the corner. Remember what they say.."You can vote your way into Socialism but you have to shoot your way out. My God have mercy on our national soul.

#3  We can't stay together and still be a democracy. The pillar of free and fair national elections has collapsed.

If we do stay together it can only be as a corrupt and shambolic rickety semi-democracy like Mexico.

#1  I think the US will stay together but we'll get more of a pre-Civil War system of powerful states and weaker central government.
