Is a Peaceful Split the Only Path Forward for the U.S.?

Hot take?

The intense division in this country makes it seem like a split may be necessary to avoid major conflict. Like it or not, neither side—nor their leaders or ideas—are the worst in the world. Trump, with all his flaws, may not be an ideal candidate for a civilized country, but he’s hardly comparable to history’s most notorious leaders, past or present. Similarly, the other side isn’t pushing the most extreme socialism, and even if Kamala takes office, she won’t be the most socialist or communist leader globally.

The values and visions of each side are now so different that it’s hard to see a path back to unity. Neither candidate appears capable of bridging this divide. Ultimately, we may need two separate countries—one where conservatives and Republicans can live according to their values, and another where liberals and Democrats can do the same.

Regardless of who wins, we’ll likely see mass protests and violence in the short term, with groups like Antifa and Proud Boys ready to mobilize depending on the outcome. If both sides remain unwilling to compromise and at least show civility, what’s next? Some level of forgiveness and compassion is essential if we’re to move forward.

 

I didn't want to get too long winded with the OP so I left this out for someone to possibly bring up to discuss. This is the major sticking point. How would we actually divide the country.

 

No major change ever seems realistic until it is inevitable. All civilizations have dissolved somehow and we will too one day. Maybe soon. Especially if the divide between the two parties never gets fixed. Does the alternative of another civil war seem more realistic?

Im not advocating for this, just throwing out the discussion. Clearly I don't think anyone would want this but nobody is willing to step up to the plate and find common ground.

 

Well duh, its a what if situation.

 

Well if you have all the answers, lets hear what the solution is.

 

So which side am I on? Clearly you are trying to peg me as the one who wants the divide to happen instead of simply posing a question. So, who do I hate?

Maybe, just maybe its a question on a message board for discussion. Jesus you people are insufferable.

 

So Kamala wins - are you reaching out to anyone here or are they still deplorable and inhuman because they voted for Trump?

 

jo we know you never have a thought of your own so no need to but in. You cant even figure out who you are talking to half the time to be throwing shade at anyone else.

 

Its a hypothetical question and all any of you have to do is simply answer it. Instead all of you are here thumbing your nose and acting so morally superior and throwing vitriol and flame at me simply for opening a thread for discussion.

Honestly I really would hate to be some of you. Being angry all the time must be so exhausting. FFS and some of you wonder why Im constantly saying you are some of the worst people to talk to HANDS DOWN.

 

Moral superiority, compassion and inclusiveness on display for the world to see.

Congrats on further solidifying the stereotype.
