7. That's why I always said to accomplish this we'd have to offer

relocation assistance to those who want to move OUT of the Red States, and to those who want to move OUT of the Blue States. That, in itself, makes it unworkable. But you can't split the country without allowing and helping people move to where they want to be. I've been saying for years I wish to holy hell they'd just secede and start their own country. But there are so many problems and issues to work out, and the one thing maga types aren't known for is patience enough to work out equitable solutions. And, honestly, at this point, I don't think WE'RE than patient either! I know I, for one, want them gone... I don't even care how. No, scratch that... I actually want them to move to some other country where they can live their bubbled religious lives and leave the rest of us alone. You'd think by now they'd realize they ain't gonna be raptured... or maybe they got "left behind" and start to make tracks to move someplace that better fit them than the country and ideals the Founders gave them.
