2. We either need to stop promoting this red-blue concept or face reality...

There is NO LONGER a "United States of America"...

Preesident Obama's famous speech simply no longerr applies to the current reality. For racist whites in America, the victory of President Obama was seen as an existential threat and loss of hegemony that had to be addressed more forcibly than anythinig since Gettysburg.

The current reality is our politicians are so wrapped up in gerry-mandering and purity-testing candidates that the actual act of GOVERNING is a distraction and the concept of COMPROMISE to move towards a better common future is dead.

Fuck it. Just declare the Red states what they are - The Neo-Confederate States of America, kick the out of the United States of America and their exit price is a renunciation of their share of the nation's nuclear arsenal. They can fuck right off into theocratic ruin while the rest of us can get down to the task of fixing our Supreme Court, our co-equal branches of government and our electoral system. We will also need a newly reevised Constitution but working with these dumbass fuckers from MAGA areas is a waste of time.

They don't want anything - except a continued gravy train of Blue State money to fund their failing state and local areas. Fuck 'em. I want out, I want them gone and I plan to show them the EXACT SAME level of compassion and empathy they are currently showing immigrants and minority groups today - FUCKING ZERO. They can all die and rot in their streets for all I care...after we dissolve this broken union their problems are their own and their fate is sealed.
